	Hello,

	since I don't have this hardware, one thing that would help would the log of 
a  scan with 1.0.18, and another with 1.0.20. Log can be generated by a test 
like:

export SANE_DEBUG_LEXMARK=255
export SANE_DEBUG_LEXMARK_LOW=255
scanimage 2>lexmark-scan.log 1>lexmark-scan.pnm

Regards,
	Stef
