-L, --list-devices         show available scanner devices

    --batch-count=#        how many pages to scan in batch mode
    --batch-increment=#    increase number in filename by an amount of #
--batch-double increment page number by two for 2sided originals
                           being scanned in a single sided scanner

Good to know.  Thanks.

How do I get a 1200dpi image out of scanimage?

scanimage -v -p --format=PPM --mode=Color --resolution=1200 > si1200.ppm

didn't work.

Does it happen with the command line tool scanimage? If so, then it is
a problem with the backend, which is part of hplip.
