Hard to say why it's not loaded! Normally the driver is able to detect the scanner and the stays loaded. In your case, the device seems to be not detected... Please enable the debug messages by recompiling the driver with: make clean all DEBUG=y
Then reload and send us the ouput of dmesg... It might be a problem of the IEEE1248 settings in the kernels parport configuration, it's autodetection sometimes confuses the ASICs inside the older Plustek devices... Gerhard On Sunday, 10.
