Comment 11 for bug 783950

I can confirm this bug is alive and well in Ubuntu 12.04 on an Epson Workforce 645.

I use Simple Scan and can reproduce it when scanning in either text or photo modes. It is intermittent - I can sometimes get it to scan. Even the mode of failure is inconsistent: Sometimes it will start to feed the documentt and fail with "Communication error" on the printer display, other times it will just hang with "Scanning.." displayed on the printer screen without even attempting to feed a document.
