Either remove the ids after the [usb] line completely or at least use
the correct ones. It has been already said that the product id is
0x010f, not 0x01f or any other variant of this.

The scanner is still found by sane-find-scanner?

If nothing else helps, create a plustek.conf file with nothing but:

[usb]
device /dev/usb/scanner0

Please send us the debug.log generated by:

SANE_DEBUG_PLUSTEK=255 scanimage -L 2>debug.log

The man page is not wrong as far as I can see.

No.

What do you mean by that? Did you remove all the other config files?
In this case you destroyed your sane installation. Please reinstall.
You need at least dll.conf.
