Did that, still no device found!
However for the first time ever I ignored the warning not to run
as root and xsane found the Canon LIDE-110 scanner and copied as
expected! A permissions problem?
That was on this computer, box6.
Box9 showed "sane-backends-drivers-scanners already installed?"
Box9, as root, found the HP-5370 scanner and copied a page as
expected.
As a matter of interest, my installs are from the XFCE spin on a
flash drive. I then add the applications I want via yum mostly.
Don't know why this computer was different from the other but I
may have inadvertently removed something?
Next to find the permissions problem but this is good progress
for this early hour when I should be sleeping.
Thanks much for your expert help.

There is a simple way to overcome this limitation. Find out what bus the
printer/scanner is on with lsusb. Then go into /dev/bus/usb and change the
permissions of the bus/device that you need access to.
