Have you gone to http://www.xsane.org to see if xsane supports your
scanner?  XSane is just a graphical user interface for sane and the
applications that you cited as not seeing your scanner are all
graphical.  

If your scanner is not supported by xsane, you can still scan from the
command line, or there are other scanner gui's available, such as:
  vuescan  http://www.hamrick.com/vsm.html
  
What brand/model of scanner do you have?  Have you checked in
/etc/scan.d/ for the config file and does it require modification?
