Sees that almost everything works now using avision backend. I can set 
brightness, contrast, scan color, gray scale, batch mode, and I didn't have 
the double-page feed problem that I initially had with the sp15c.

Only thing, it seems to be stuck on using the ADF, even if I use 'scanimage 
--source Flatbed ...'. Also trying XSane with "Flatbed" selected I get the 
error "Document Feeder out of Documents".
