  Try using the latest sane (1.0.3). It won't necessarily fix your problem, but
  what point is there in debugging an obsolete version? Some people seem to have
  1.0.3 running OK with the 620U on Intel machines. Of course, that doesn't mean
  it will necessarily be OK for you. You are the first person I have heard of
  trying this with a PPC machine.

  Good luck,
  Steve
