That's great! Thanks for your report.

Some further information would be great:

- Which backend is being used to access the device? Perhaps let us see the
output of "scanimage -L"?
- If you are able to connect with USB, does it work and again, what is the
output of "scanimage -L" so we can see which backend is being used for USB:
it might be different.
- Does both the flatbed *and* ADF work for both USB and Network? We have
had instances with the pixma backend where data formats are a little
different between flatbed and ADF (ADF returns JPEG data whereas flatbed
does not). A bit bizarre I know. :(

Cheers,
Ralph
