First, you have to get your scanner working under XSane. This problem is not a GIMP problem and I'm willing to work with you on this offline. I have a HP ScanJet 5200C (USB) that I use with GIMP and XSane without problems. I also encountered the same problem you did and WAS able to get it resolved through XSane configuration changes. E-mail me your scanner make/model and we can go from there.... :) Peace...
