It would have been important if the Plustek 1212U had been supported. But as far as I know this is not the case. The scanner search engine says: "All devices using product ID 0x0001 are not supported, for others see Plustek backend. The older models seem to use a P98003 parallel port ASIC and a GenesysLogic parport-over USB brigde. The P98003 is also used by the P12 and PT12 models." So basically you need someone who writes a backend for that combination of chips. If you want to start coding yourself, have a look at http://www.meier-geinitz.de/sane/misc/unsupported.html.
