Hi, I've already added my user to scanner group

gpasswd -a user scanner

but my scanner doesn't work yet. Any idea? It works as root.

login and logout after you have added yourself to scanner group

If you have an old parallel scanner like me (Mustek 6000P), you'll never be able to directly use the scaner as a normal user.

Instead, you can tell saned to put up a network interface for it. To do so uncomment net in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf. Add the following to /etc/sane.d/net.conf

localhost

and the following to /etc/sane.d/saned.conf

localhost
127.0.0.1

After that restart your sane deamon and run scanimage -L as root to see if both your real and network scanners are up. Normal users should then be able to see the network one, and normally scan.
