I've made an interesting discovery - if I used the forceMode=1 and mov=2
parameters to pt_drv, the scanner was not recognized correctly (it was
recognized as 4380P when in fact it is a Primax 4800 Direct), but then
'scanimage -L' actually found it as available.

And xscanimage actually scanned something - it was a bit blueish and a bit 
garbled, but at least there was something! :)

Which of course leads me to believe that the problem lies either in the 
BIOS / EPP implementation or the kernel (it's Suse 8.1 default kernel with 
all their options - maybe something conficts with pt_drv)...

I hope someone can give me some more clues. :)

  Thanks, D.
