And that's with the case exactly as given? E.g. SANE_DEBUG_... Odd.

Yeah, EINVAL, "Invalid argument", is one of the possible return values
from various system calls; a call to the kernel from a userspace
program.
OK, try
sudo strace -v -s 256 -ttt -f -o lide50.st scanimage >lide50.pnm
2>lide50.err
Presumably, lide50.err will just have the EINVAL error of before. But
lide50.st should have tons of stuff. Too big to post to the list. Can
you either compress and attach it to an email to me, e.g.
bzip2 lide50.st
and then attach lide50.st.bz2, or find somewhere to post it online.
Cheers,
Ralph.
