You mean it is not detected by the kernel scanner driver? In this
case, tell the scanner driver the ids of the scanner:

rmmod scanner
modprobe scanner vendor=0x0001 producr=0x0002

For 0x0001 and 0x0002 you use the values you got from
sane-find-scanner.

Check that the device entry is correct. Usually it should point to
/dev/usb/scanner0. Use the device printed by sane-find-scanner. And
check the permissions.

If it still doesn't work, turn on debugging:

SANE_DEBUG_PLUSTEK=255 scanimage -L
