SANE version is 1.0.22, device connected to 32-bit OS Thinstation 5.1 
(sane build from sources), client where I strart scanimage - 64-bit 
Ubuntu 12.04. Results SANE_DEBUG_GENESYS I'll send - as soon as I get to 
the device. By the way, is there a simple way to capture stderr, if 
saned used together with xinetd? Today I tried the same (but both 64-bit 
Ubuntu)  thing with a another scanner (HPLIP backend) - lineart mode works.
