Hi,

I recompiled the kernel with uscanner disabled. This time
'scan-find-scanner' can find the scanner without any error.
------------
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9 [Canon], product=0x220e [CanoScan]) at
libusb:/dev/usb0:/dev/ugen0
------------
However, 'scanimage -L' still can not find it.
Output with 'SANE_DEBUG_PLUSTEK=12' is

[sanei_debug] Setting debug level of plustek to 12.

No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
