The "sda1" thing is what you see for USB Mass Storage Devices.

In other words, a USB-based thumb drive, digital camera card reader, hard drive. zip drive, etc.

Scanners and web cams use a different interface for USB.

You can usually find out information about support for specific models of USB devices here:

http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/

and for scanners at:

http://sane-project.org/

It will probably require the installation of additional programs in order to work, like Video4Linux to give an example.

Hope this helps.
