When I use simple-scan 2.32.0.1 with my Lexmark X543dn MFC, and tick "All pages from feeder", the scanner correctly scans all pages, and the Lexmark progress dialog shows the data for each page being received, but simple-scan malfunctions in two ways:
1. Only the first page is actually displayed.
2. After scanning all the pages, the Lexmark dialog that comes up at the start of a scan job is displayed again, which is unnecessary.
So, there seems to be some slight communication problem: a case of "so near, and yet so far"!
See bug 717885 for scanning with "Single Page".

As a follow-up, the Lexmark driver appears to be fine, as I can do multi-page scanning quite happily with xsane. However, it took me about 10 minutes just to work out how; I'd much rather use simple-scan!
