Hi,
I hope you don't mind that I CCed sane-devel.

Mine has one too.
I downloaded the driver for the SnapScan 1212P WITHOUT power switch.
It installs a scandrv.sys. This one as well contains CodeView debug
information. I inspected it with "strings -a".
A small list of interesting strings:
P17ColorModeRegister
P518ColorModeRegister
P535ColorModeRegister
P539ColorModeRegister
P56ColorModeRegister
P97ColorModeRegister
D:\SCANDRV\DRIVER\VER02\NT4\98001\AGFA\..\asic.c
On the other hand Sane 1.0.15 contains:
plustek-pp_p9636.c:static UShort P17ColorModeRegister[] = {
plustek-pp_p9636.c:static UShort P518ColorModeRegister[] = {
plustek-pp_p9636.c:static UShort P535ColorModeRegister[] = {
plustek-pp_p9636.c:static UShort P539ColorModeRegister[] = {
plustek-pp_p9636.c:static UShort P56ColorModeRegister[] = {
plustek-pp_p9636.c:static UShort P97ColorModeRegister[] = {
plustek-pp_detect.c: DBG( DBG_LOW, "Adjust for 98001 ASIC\n");
So, well, I think this is enough to assume that the AGFA SnapScan 1212P
without power switch is a rebranded Plustek.

It's an option in xsane's standard option window. If it's not present
I suggest to upgrade to sane-backends 1.0.17 before doing further
tests.
