[That being with the Windows software that came with the scanner, of
course.]

Do you think this is a problem that is related to the firmware, to how
SANE talks to the firmware or just with SANE itself?  Just so I have a
better idea to start looking into this myself - I'd like to have the
issue resolved one way or the other before the time is up for returning
the scanner...

Thank you,

Bjorn.
