Description
Hey,
I'm working on a project where I create an app that uses python-sane that detects scanners and scans, etc. The scanner I have works by itself if I use the program that comes with the scanner. However, sane.get_devices() does not recognize any scanners and returns an empty list. I'm a bit confused why this is happening amd how to troubleshoot it. TIA

Research direction
No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the reported sequence with python-sane: call sane.initiate(), then sane.get_devices(), and compare the result with the scanner's standalone program. Done means identifying why the scanner is absent from the returned list and documenting or implementing a verified resolution.
