This is due to Win using a very large SCSI-Buffer (a few MB), while Linux
by default only uses 32kB. You can increase that to about 128kB as described
in some README.

Wrong colors are usually an indication of wrong color-correction code being
used. What is the Firmware version of your scanner ?

In the mustek.conf there should be options settable to try out various
correction schemes. Please turn off the scanner between tries, because
a wrong setting may confuse the scanner causing it to always return wrong
colors.

Yes. It is a major mess to find out what are the correct settings for
12000SP type scanners.
