That's not so good at all.

At least one possibility: I always ran xscanimage/scanimage as SUID root
program. It should be also possible to use /dev/port (if this device is
readable/writable for the user), but it is not well tested.
When you already tried as root, I only can give you the hint to do
export SANE_DEBUG_MUSTEK=2
xscanimage
and to look at the debugging output (or, send me what you got).
You will see if the scanner gets identified after power-on.

Yes, there was a bug in sanei/sanei_ab306n.c that did not turn
the scanner off after leaving the program. If you still want to try
with sane-0.67, you can change the line 473,474 as shown below:
Change
/* power off the scanner: */
ab306_outb (port + i, port[i].base, 0x00);
so that it looks like:
/* power off the scanner: */
ab306_outb (port + i, port[i].base + 1, 0x00);
Andreas.
PS: I am still trying to get a improved backend implementation through
to be included into 0.68, but there were still some implementation
details that did not match. I hope it will be ready in time.
