Public bug reported:
Hallo,
since I updated from Kubuntu 6.06 to 7.10 running an "SHARP JX330 SCSI
flatbed scanner" with scanimage produces this error:
$ scanimage --device-name='sharp:/dev/sg0' --source='Flatbed'>out.pnm
scanimage: sane_start: Scanner cover is open
Because I try to scan a book, the scanner cover is open indeed, but this
used to be no problem.
If I scan with xscanimage, it finally works with open cover if I scan
with closed cover first. Here the output of
SANE_DEBUG_XSCANIMAGE=4 xscanimage 2>debug.log
[sanei_debug] Setting debug level of xscanimage to 4.

Without the dummy scan with cover closed:

described above
Unfortunately this workaround doesn't work with gscan2pdf.
I also tried to find a hardware workaround but I don't know how the scanner
knows it is open. I thought there would be a little stylus or switch that has
to be pressed, but the one I found doesn't work. I have no manual or technical
information about the scanner.
Thanks,
Lars
