I was truly feeling like giving up on getting the Epson XP 231 to scan properly on Mageia. I tried pretty much everything, even Megatotoro's solution, to no avail.
However, I discovered that the real problem was that, although sane-find-scanner would actually find the scanner, there was a permission problem.
I confirmed this when I ran xsane as root and could scan. Of course, one solution was to chmod the file where the scanner was at /dev/bus/usb/003/, but that was temporary
The real solution was found here, at the Mageia forums. I only had to add my user to the lp group.
A blog to compile what I have learned (and what I am learning) about Mandriva (and GNU/Linux in general) since 2009, when I migrated. Current distros I'm using: OpenMandriva Lx 4.2, Mageia 7, PCLinuxOS, MX 19, and Elive 3.
