Yes I am marking this Invalid because the issue hasn't manifested itself since mid-2015. See comment 3 for more details. Fingers crossed that it doesn't come back. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to sane-backends in Ubuntu.

Hi Christopher, thank you for resurrecting this bug report. The affected machine has since been upgraded to Xenial. It still uses the same scanner. The current versions of sane-backends and iscan are barely more recent, so one could suppose the behavior I reported in 2015-05 could still occur.
