Turns out this is a bug introduced in iscan-2.18.0 and still present in
iscan-2.19.0.  Image Scan! is not affected but other SANE frontends may
display the same behaviour.

This will be fixed in iscan-2.20.0 but in the mean time you can revert
to iscan-2.17.0, downloadable from

  http://avasys.jp/hp/menu000001300/hpg000001249.htm

For those that don't mind patching the sources, you have to negate the
condition on line 2180 of backend/epkowa.c.
