Hi,

I tried scanning smaller area, with

SANE_DEBUG_PIXMA=25 scanimage -l100 -t100 -x50 -y50  --format=tiff
>test.tif 2>debug

And surprisingly it worked! :) Perfect scan. So probably the "full
page" settings are somehow out of bounds, I need to figure that out.

The scanner was "stuck" for maybe 30 seconds after the scan, saying
"scanning" even when the scan had already competed. I noticed that
windows driver always sends cmd_abort_session after scanning; adding
this fixed it on Sane as well.

Anyway, looks very promising now. I updated http://zuik.org/sane/ with
the latest files.
