[sane-devel] Plustek OpticPro 9636P+ in serial with printer - scanner not found

I tried unplugging the printer and rebooting, but I get the same 
response from scanimage -L

I tried commenting out all the lines in sane.d/dll.conf except for 
plustek_pp, same response (although the printer is now plugged in again).

Here also is lsmod:
