My desktop host has an Asus Prime X470-Pro motherboard and USB3.x ports on
the rear panel plus two on the front panel.

I have a 7-port USB3.x hub connected to one of the rear ports. The external
backup drive, Palm TX sync/charger, and the Nokia phone charger are
connected to that hub. But, when I connect the Canon Canoscan LiDE 400 to
the hub neither 'scanimage -L' nor 'sane-find-scanner' sees it.

Connecting the scanner to a front port results is different:

$ scanimage -L
device `pixma:04A91912_4301BD' is a CANON CanoScan LiDE 400 multi-function 
peripheral

$ sane-find-scanner
...
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9 [Canon], product=0x1912 [LiDE 400]) at 
libusb:001:098

This series of Canon scanners is now supported by sane-1.0.28 which I built
from the source code in a clone of sane's github repo.

I don't now know which flavor of USB3.x powers the hub and front port and
wonder why this would make a difference in sane (and I presume xsane)
finding the scanner.
