I get the exact same error.  If you find out anything, please let me know.
I used the scanner under sane some 5 years ago or so and the
author/maintainer of the microtek backend was very helpful in solving the
issues I had with it.  I have not been able to get in contact with him
lately (its been several months since trying due to travel).
