I am going to briefly explain how to enable normal user to have access the the scanner via Xsane or sane under Debian (testing)
First off add your user account to the ‘scanner‘ group:
# usermod -aG scanner your_account
and now logout and back in.
Second we need to edit ‘60-libsane.rules‘ file:
# nano /lib/udev/rules.d/60-libsane.rules
and add the following to the file:
# Epson Stylus NX125 ATTRS{idVendor}=="04b8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="085c", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"
Now restart ‘udev‘:
# invoke-rc.d udev restart
and disconnect and connect the scanner on the USB port and start up Xsane.

Old post but I need help.
After step one, I get this:
usermod: cannot lock /etc/passwd; try again later.
solutions?

This is only a guess, but looks like you are not logged in as root on the terminal.
