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. However, it hasn't manifested itself since mid-2015, or I would have moved this bug report upstream to get help.
Perhaps I've just been lucky. After all, this scanner isn't used very frequently and this bug doesn't show up every time. Still, my opinion is to close this bug as Invalid (can't reproduce). I'll re-open it in the future if necessary. Do you still want the apport information?
