After doing some additional reading on the Ubuntu site I tried using xsane instead of simple scan. I found that the problem was also present in xsane. I am going to repost this bug on the xsane site instead of here since that appears to be the source of the scanner code.
It appears simple scan completes the scanning process it just takes 2 min per scan. That delay is long enough that most people, including myself, don't wait that long. Note most times after fresh reboot I get several scans including multiples without the 2 min delay before it slows down. I can run a debug but I have never run a debug on Ubuntu so I don't know details. If you can point me to the the correct information I will read up on how to do it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to simple-scan in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/660162 Title: simplescan does not release last page when scanning all pages from sheet feeder Status in Simple Scan: Triaged Status in “simple-scan” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: simple-scan Maverick 32 bits, all updates installed. When scanning multiple pages from the sheet feeder in one go, Simplescan does not release the last page until either a new scan is started or the program is closed. It stops scanning though, so I assume it does recognize that the sheet feeder is empty. This is awkward when scanning double sides pages, because I would need to do the odd pages first, then reload all pages into the sheet feeder and scan the even pages. To do so now, I must pull the last page out of the scanner with mild force. cheers Tom To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/simple-scan/+bug/660162/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
