The scanner was working with simple-scan (but not xsane) on the last LTS
version of Ubuntu (12.04) the first time we ran simple-scan. Although I did
try quite some time to get xsane working before that, and might have added
the lp group during that.

I wonder which package to file a bug against. Sometimes I'm kinda hoping
that maintainers are skimming ubuntu-user etc. if they're not overly busy
handling existing bug reports already, that would save me some work and
perhaps them, too...
