Ok, so the kernel USB scanner driver found it.

Oh. Are you sure that this version supports your scanner? I can't find
"Lide" on the list of supported scanners for 1.0.9. 1.0.12 is the
current version of sane-backends but 1.0.10 may also work.

But I'm not an plustek expert...

Well, sane-devel is ok. Just don't send your answers to only me,
because on the sane-devel mailing list there are more people (e.g. the
plustek maintainer) who know much more about your scanner and the
plustek backend. That's why I cc to the list again.

Just send it to sane-devel@mostang.com. That's the mailing list
address. Not (only) to henning@meier-geinitz.de :-)

That's very good. We need more people like you!

Ok, that should be your scanner.

Looks like your backend is really too old.
