"Invalid argument" is what scanimage says when almost anything goes
wrong. It does it if the device file is missing, or already open, or
the kernel driver is missing, or the scanner responds with something
it shouldn't, or not at all.
Strangely enough after all that, it also gives the same message if the
argument is, in fact, invalid.
In practice, the specific-sounding "Invalid argument" error message
actually means 'something went wrong'.
