[sane-devel] bug with Canon N1240U in Lineart mode at 75 dpi?

[Eric Ding]

The lowest "next" resolution up is 100dpi; anything in between rounds
either down to 75dpi or up to 100dpi.  Things seem to work just fine at
100 dpi, though...

The latest version of sane seems to allow an attempt at 50 dpi; this
also fails in Lineart mode, but not in other modes.
