Scanimage reads the command line parameters from left to right. The source parameter resets some parameters to default values.
Please try this: "scanimage -d pixma:04A91908 --source Flatbed --resolution 300 --mode Color >test1". All Parameters have auto values. You can check them with this command: "scanimage -d pixma:04A91908 -A". You can also use this short form command: "scanimage -d pixma --resolution 300 >test1". If you want to scan b/w letters, you can use the lineart parameter like this: "scanimage -d pixma --resolution 300 --mode lineart >test1".
