Hello everybody,
I believe I too have a permission problem like this, although with other
scanners.
Xsane sees both my Epson and my Canon right from my laptop with a new
Ubuntu 20.04.
From the desktop with 18.04 Xsane can't find any scanner. They both
work fine with scanimage, though.
Would anyone please tell me what I need to look at and how do I fix
this? I'm not familiar with this 'udev' stuff.
Thank you, regards.

You nailed it. It's the same root user permissions that got me last time.
Network scanning just locks up the scanner (with proper permissions) so
I had to move the scanner to my main server and just use it by USB.
Gotta fix those permissions by udev next time I reboot.
Just a general udev tip: you don't need to reboot to apply rule changes.
This command will do it:
$ sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
Then just unplug and replug the USB device and it should be covered by
the new rules.
