Actually it didn't get me completely going, but it got me closer - the
modprobe error came from /sbin not being in my path (apparantly even
though I could run /sbin/modprobe manually, the install script wasn't so
smart) - and then, oddly enough, I had to run "make install" 3 times,
but on the 3rd time it took.
I can do a "scanimage -L" and it detects the scanner (as the wrong
model, it shows it as a 6000 and it's a 4800, but at least it detects
it)
But - as soon as I run scanimage without the -L switch, it complains
that there is no scanner. xscanimage gives the same result. Is there
something else I missed? The install docs that come with the plustek
drivers seem to assume that once you've done a successful "scanimage -L"
than all is clear, but that doesn't appear to be the case on my PC...
Any ideas?

One day Alice came to a fork in the road and saw a Cheshire cat in a
tree.
"Which road do I take?" she asked. His response was a question: "Where
do you want to go?"
"I don't know," Alice answered. "Then," said the cat, "it doesn't
matter." - Lewis Carroll
