I assume first that your printer is printing okay. Put an item you want to copy face down in the scanner and make sure that the printer is connected and is turned on. Next go to Applications | Graphics | Simple Scan and it should allow you to scan the item you put on the glass. Xsane isn't used the same way any more. Simple Scan it the better way to see if your scanner works.
