The problem is described here. If you mainly need to scan documents and not images a ‘workaround’ is to use gscan2pdf.
-edit: A better workaround is to install scan button deamon //sudo aptitude install scanbuttond
The process was really easy. So I won’t provide more details(it’s a lazy blog anyway), just the screenshots.
edit: You can skip the first two steps in Ubuntu feisty (You don’t need automatix).
Thanx papo 😀

Follow the steps described in this tutorial. It’s really easy!
