I've performed the upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04 over the Christmas break which has restored all the repositories back to default (I was using the PPA from Rolf's PPA to work round this) and can confirm it's all working now. There's still the massive delay on the start of the initial scan (as mentioned in #32) which consumes 100% of the CPU but I can live with that.

My PC only has a USB 3 root hub, when the device is connected, either directly or via an external USB 2 hub, it does not work. In general (although not always), 'scanimage -L' will detect the scanner ok: device `plustek:libusb:001:012' is a Hewlett-Packard Scanjet 2100c flatbed scanner however there is always about a 30s delay before the shell prompt is returned. Scanning always fails however, using the suggested method on the sane HOW-TO page: scanimage -vvv -format pnm >outfile.pnm Calling sane_exit is the usual response. By enabling debug on the plustek backend, the response I normally get results in the following: [plustek] Vendor ID=0x03F0, Product ID=0x0505 [plustek] usbio_DetectLM983x [plustek] * could not read version register! [plustek] open failed: -1 [plustek] sane_get_devices (0x7fff0686dbc8, 0) In an effort to try and diagnose this, I've build the latest SANE backends from scratch and tried out the latest libusb none of which has resolved the issue. My original kernel was a 3.5.x, I pushed it up to 3.8.0-30 this also made no difference. My guess based on what I've seen is that this is related to the USB 3 hub. The HP Scanjet worked ok on my old Linux box (a 2.6.27 kernel with USB 2 hub). The key difference (aside from this being a 64 bit flavour of Linux) is the USB.
