Just for the record, Joel Berger's workaround didn't work for me. Or rather, it works only for one scan.

I've resigned myself to using scanimage until this gets fixed. This is annoying since I bought this scanner specifically because it would work well on Linux, and it worked amazingly well on edgy. I'm not willing to spend time and energy backpedalling kernels and/or recompiling stuff to get this working, so I hope the Ubuntu team recognizes this problem soon. Even if they don't fix it in Feisty, I'd be willing to risk an early upgrade to Gutsy to get a decent scan GUI back. From the sounds of it, Gutsy will be a stability release anyway, so would be an appropriate place to fix stuff like this.
