I'm unsure of what's really going on with those scanners. To make
progress, we first need to get a clear picture of what is and is not
working. So, if you have an MFS-12000SP scanner, I'd really
appreciate if you could fill out this little survey (even if you
reported problems/successes before):

- What version of SANE are you using?
- How was SANE configured? Did you use the --disable-ld-fix option?
- What SCSI adapter are you using?
- Does grayscale scanning work fine at various resolutions and without
dropped lines (e.g., try to scan a diagonal line to detect dropped
lines). If not, does it work for certain resolutions or do other
settings (such as "force backtracking") affect the result?
- Does color scanning work? If not, does it work for certain resolutions?
Describe the kind of errors you see.
- Include the output of command:
SANE_DEBUG_MUSTEK=3 scanimage -h -d mustek >/dev/null
The output should look similar to this:

[sanei_init_debug]: Setting debug level of mustek to 3.
[mustek] attach: opening /dev/scanner
[mustek] attach: sending INQUIRY
[mustek] wait_ready: sending TEST_UNIT_READY
[mustek] attach: firmware revision 1.01
[mustek] attach: found Mustek scanner model MFC-06000CZ (flatbed scanner), 1-pass
