You are not using the current version of SANE/Microtek backend.
 Get SANE-0.72 (which has v0.6 of the backend) and see what happens.
 (My guess is that you have version 0.4 or 0.5 of the backend.)
The "RealScan" is really a ScanMaker E2 --- which for some reason declares
 itself to have 1-pass capabilities, while it is a 3-pass scanner.  Current
 versions of the backend (starting with v0.6) fix this.
If it still doesn't work with the newer software, send a debug log (follow
 the directions on the sane-microtek man-page), and indicate which versions
 of the software, OS, scsi card, etc, you have (it can make a difference).
