I'm not going to install another version of Ubuntu to test if the bug is fixed. Bug still not fixed on 16.04: on 2 computers, one upgraded and one fresh install.

lsusb sees scanner:
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 04a9:2220 Canon, Inc. CanoScan LIDE 25

"sudo sane-find-scanner" sees scanner:
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9, product=0x2220) at libusb:001:002

"sudo scanimage -L" sometimes sees scanner:
device `plustek:libusb:001:006' is a Canon CanoScan LiDE25 flatbed scanner

I have tried amending plustek.conf in /etc/sane.d by adding the 2 lines:
[usb] 0x04a9 0x2220
device and /dev/usbscanner
