Could you please show me the last section of your libsane rules showing your scanner:

sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/45-libsane.rules

Last section of the libsane rules

Bingo, delete the area that's bold including the space so the ID number is directly after the quote:

SYSFS{idVendor}=="04f9", SYSFS{idProduct}=="018c", MODE="666", GROUP="scanner"

P.S. you'll need to restart the PC. Goodnight! Or in your case "day" (It's 2am!)
