the driver with the preinstalled sane or should the preinstalled sane be removed first?
if so how do I remove the preinstalled sane? also is there a person that has already
installed your driver under mandrake that I may contact that can help me with the mandrake
installation?

I recommend to uninstall the previous one.
I think Mandrake uses RPM for managing the packages. To remove sane
do the following (as root)

Ask for all installed packages and filter sane:
rpm -qa | grep sane
you should get somnething like this:
sane-1.0.1-94
Now remove this package:

rpm -e sane-1.0.1-94

After theses steps, sane should be removed.
I'm not sure,  but you might have to remove the /etc/sane.d 
manually...
Now got to your sane-1.0.3 stuff and reinstall this 
as described. Before using, you might have a look
at the dll.conf and enable only the plustek backend.

Maybe there's somebody out there in the mailing-list
who also uses Mandrake....
