[Matti Viljanen]

Binary package hint: simple-scan

Steps to reproduce:

1) Plug in scanner (I have Canon CanoScan LiDE 25)
2) Start Simple Scan
3) Set scanning mode to Text
4a) Start scanning a page
4b) Observe that the page is scanned in b/w
4c) Abort the scan
5) Delete the scanned page
6) Confirm that the scanning mode is Text
7) Start scanning the page again

What should happen:
8) Page scans in b/w

What happens:
8) Page scans in color

I'm running 10.10/AMD64 from live USB key. I disabled the CD-ROM repository from sources.list, did apt-get update and apt-get install simple-scan. At this point I discovered this bug.

Workaround:
Close and open Simple Scan. The drawback is that one loses the partial set of pages scanned.

what exactly do you do in step 6? what happens if you do that before scanning the first time?

If so, possible duplicate of bug #813927
