  I did check the permissions on the device. I do run xvscan as
  a regular user and it's not setuid or anything. The permissions
  on the device right now are 666.

  I did try the -d hp:/dev/sg/10 just now and it says:
  scanimage: open of device hp:/dev/sg/10 failed: Invalid argument

  I also tried it as root to make sure it's not a permissions
  issue and it returned the same error.

  I did also check to see what /dev/sg/10 points to and that looks ok:
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 48 Nov 28 11:34 /dev/sg/10 ->
  ../../devices/pci@1f,0/pci@1/scsi@1,1/sg@2,0:raw

  xvscan uses /dev/scanjet which is a symlink to /dev/sg/10
