This was reported some time ago on Launchpad[1], but I can't reproduce it -  
it seems only to affect LaserJet scanners.

Without being able to reproduce it, it is next to impossible to fix the  
problem. It needs someone with a LaserJet and perl skills to hack at  
scanimage-perl, as it is simply a perl transcription of scanimage, which  
apparently doesn't show the bug.

What option did the libsane-perl frontend give you that the scanimage  
frontend didn't that allowed you to scan from the flatbed?
