Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: simple-scan
1. Put a single page in the ADF.
2. Click scan 'All Pages From Feeder' or scan 'Single Page' - if the latter,
skip down to #6.
3. Scan as shown by simple-scan is weird - actual scan of entire page only
takes up small part of page (like its zoomed out) and the scan of the page is
repeated horizontally multiple times (see attached screenshot).
4. At this point my all-in-one printer shows on its display 'Now scanning...'
and it looks like part of the page is still in the printer. If there are
multiple pages in the ADF, it will scan each page and then get stuck like this
on the last page - unfortunately all the pages scanned in are still messed up
as described.
5. Clicking scan 'Single Page' creates another page in 'simple-scan' with what
appears to be the tail end of the first page. The printer finishes spitting out
the page and chimes telling me the scan is complete. Clicking scan 'All Pages
From Feeder' instead does not result in this behaviour. However, killing
simple-scan instead *does* result in the printer chiming success and spitting
out the rest of the page.
6. If I click 'Save as' from the 'Document' menu and save the scan as a pdf,
attempting to open the pdf in a pdf reader results in the reader complaining
about the pdf being corrupt or damaged. Saving as a jpeg (the default) produces
a valid jpeg but the image is the same as how the scan looks in simple-scan.
Using xsane to do the scan doesn't result in this problem (though the
scan for each page does have a chunk of whitespace at the end like it
thinks the pages are legal size or something).
