Judging from the bug report, it sounds like a problem with the userspace 
tools -- apparently either scanimage or sane exits before the scanner is 
ready.  Or maybe the problem lies in the scanner itself; it can't finish 
its reset procedure after scanning if the USB interface is suspended.

With a 2.6.21 kernel, the user could simply set the power/autosuspend
attribute to 900 (15 minutes).  This could be put in a hotplug or udev 
script.
