All but one page sent by network scanner are discarded

[Reuben Thomas]

If I press Scan in simple-scan, then scan multiple pages on my scanner (in this case, a Lexmark X543dn), then only the first page appears in simple-scan. I can of course press Scan again to scan the next page, but with a network scanner this is tedious, as I have to enter a code on the scanner for every page, rather than just telling it to scan another page, or feeding a multi-page document into it. This has been reproducible since Maverick.

WORKAROUND: Use XSane.

See bug #717885 for original report against Maverick, detailed workflow and analysis.

Reuben Thomas, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.

To see if this is already resolved, could you please test http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ and advise to the results?

[Reuben Thomas (rrt)]

Unless there's evidence that the bug has been fixed (e.g. in the repository commit logs or release notes), it seems unlikely, given that it persists in the same form since I reported it 5 years ago. Also, it may have been intentional behavior (see bug #717885 for analysis).

[Reuben Thomas (rrt)]

Sorry, I don't have time to test dailies. If I can, I'll look into it upstream.
