I am running a debian system with a manually compiled/installed 2.6.13 kernel. I've built the plustek pp kernel module and use that. Scanimage can't find the scanner, unless it is specified on a -d option, or via an environment default scanner setting. Scanning in only works in lineart or dithered modes. The gray and color modes produce only solid black output. Perhaps this is not the right forum for this, but this scanner worked in Mandrake, and obviously still works based on the dithered images.
