The problem is that scanimage doesn't seem to be returning any
device-dependent options for your scanner:

Type ``scanimage --help -d DEVICE'' to get list of all options for DEVICE.

Confirm from the command line that this is really the case:
scanimage --help<small></small>
</pre>

<small>This is the case for both scanimage and scanadf. The issue is
with dell1600n_net, the sane-backend.</small><br>

Also, it is worth changing the frontend in gscan2pdf to scanadf
(Edit/Frontend) to see if there is any improvement there.
If not, file a bug against the sane-backend for the scanner (are you
using Ubuntu 8.04?).

<small>Yes, I'm using Ubuntu 8.04. I sent an email to the developer of
the backend to see if he intended on correcting the behaviour. From
the source, it looks like it just defaults a set of standard options.
However, he maintains an independent project for scanning from the
printer with options

for me to just use his script.</small><br>

P.S. I ought to trap the lack of device-dependent options and do
something sensible with it.

<small>If no options are available, you could ghost the 'options' tab,
but then everywhere that accesses the options would need to have a
conditional to bypass the block.<br>
