i have also messed with SANE a bit. no luck.
at the moment i'm just letting it slide.
my scanner isn't fully supported by linux yet anyhow, so i still have to use win to
make full colour scans.
hopefully soon SANE will be more idiot proof and i'll be able to figure it out. =)

Though it didn't work for me -- I have the same scanner, but it
won't work in either lm7.2 ~or~ Windows. I'd wasted the whole of
a weekend trying to get it working. Anyway, there is an update
for the Plustek backend. Trouble is, it requires numerous
updates -- at least one of which is an unstable cooker update.
May or may not work for you.
In the end, I was left with a still unworking scanner & various
minor problems I couldn't figure out. Doubt it's related, but
eventually, my video wouldn't accept any settings above 16-bit
colour & a very bad refresh rate. So, I'd reinstalled & got rid
of the whole mess.
Let me know if you figure it out, though.
Meph
