Hi! The Tutorial shows you Step-by-Step How to Install and Getting-Started with Scanner for Linux Mint Debian 2012/2013/2014 Mate/Cinnamon Desktop.

XSane is a graphical scanning frontend for SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy). It uses the SANE-library to talk to scanners. This means that XSane does not support any scanners itself. Take a look at the SANE-backends homepage to find out which scanners are supported by SANE.

The Way followed here is Practically Working and perhaps it miss of the ultimate Terminal Command to recognize the Device associated to the Scanner.
