** Description changed:

- This is my very first bug report. I hope it's useful. ;-)
+ For some SANE drivers simple scan always scans the largest scan area
+ ignoring the "Page Size" setting in the preferences.
  
- There should be no manual cropping after scanning multiple pages with
- ADF.
+ To reproduce:
+ 1. Open Simple Scan
+ 2. Set page size in Document > Prefrences > Page Size, e.g. to "4x6"
+ 3. Scan a document
+ Expected result:
+ The document is scanned at the requested size
+ Observed result:
+ The document is scanned at the maximum size
  
- Simple-Scan knows the default page size from the settings menu. Probably
- the only additional information needed is the alignment of the page
- related to the whole scan area.
- 
- Perhaps printing and scanning a predefined testpage could automate the
- alignment process.
+ Regression potential:
+ Low. The fix was to set the page size using an alternative method for drivers 
that do not support the page-width, page-height options. There is a small 
chance that these settings might change behaviour / expose bugs on drivers that 
were previously working.
