Hi, There is another bug in the epson backend. With certain values for the scanarea, get_parameters() will return more lines than the backend actually sets in set_scan_area(). The frontend (scanimage) uses the lines returned by get_parameters() to write the PNM/TIFF header, but gets fewer lines than expected due to the scan area specification.
I don't understand why the backend calculates the line count at each call of get_parameters() instead of returning the lines already there - the get_parameters() comment states: "Once a scan was started, this routine has to report the correct values ...". A reproduceable case for an 1650 Photo with SANE_DEBUG_EPSON=1 follows.
