I have run it as both root and a regular user. In most cases you
need to be root to load the pt_drv.o driver. I don't understand
why it didn't work; maybe you could try it again. I use
xscanimage; just start it as "xscanimage plustek" with the driver
loaded and you should be able to do a scan. I have not gotten the
xscanimage plugin to work with gimp, but I understand that the
plugin to gimp does work with xsane. However, I have never used it
so I can't help.
