I have no idea why "scanimage -L" works but
none of the graphical scanning frontends
seem to work for you (even not as root).
All this works for me so that I can only
close this bug report as "worksforme".
You may also try "xscanimage" (package sane-frontends).
In comment #0 there is first
"sm8840:libusb:005:005"
but later it is
"sm3840:libusb:005:002"
Note that the USB device node /dev/bus/usb/xxx/yyy
(xxx = USB bus number, yyy = USB device number)
changes each time when you re-plug the device at the USB.
Therefore you have to re-start a scanning frontend program
after you re-plugged the device at the USB.
It also does not work to start the frontend program first
and then switch on the USB device because during startup
of the frontend program the device must already be accessible.
Perhaps it also helps in your case to use the "saned"
on your local host as workaround.
In the YaST scanner setup module, select "Other"
and then "Scanning via Network" and set up the
"Local Host Configuration", see the help text there.
