In my attempts to troubleshoot this guy, here's my output messages, if debug level is set to 4, here is the error message.
It usually allows me to take a preview scan in greyscale. If I up the resolution, or change to color mode it fails very quickly. When run as a plugin through gimp (which I note access's the parallel port without being root (??)) it does the same thing, but resetting the gimp enables me to try again (something that I can't do in terminal).
