I would not bet my life on it. There are two ways on which sane-backend 
talk to scanners. Libusb is one of the ways.
I have two Epson scanners. One of them does use libusb one of them 
doesn't not. How do I know. Well in OpenBSD when the scanner uses libusb 
you have to remove uscanner driver from the kernel in order to use it.
