Have you tried a more recent kernel?

Even without the microtel module, your scanner should be found by
sane-find-scanner as a USB device and in /proc/bus/usb/devices.

Does it work if you don't load the microtek module?

That's "Connection timed out". The scanner didn't want to talk to us
when the configuration was set. That's one of the first commands so it
may be a hardware issue. Is the cable ok?

Two devices on the same scanner? Strange.

If this happens also with a current kernel, ask the linux-usb-devel
mailing list. That's not a SANE issue but Linux kernel and/or
hardware.
