For what it's worth, I just tried this and it didn't hang for me.
However, I now have odd problems with lineart and grayscale that I'm
99.9% sure I never had before. E.g., in lineart, every once in a
while there is a shift by 8 pixels and in grayscale mode there seem to
be shifts by 1 to 2 bytes. Oddly enough, my scanner now makes strange
noises too. The noises are not terrible, but the scanner sounds
definitely different from what it did back in Arizona. Makes me kind
of wonder whether the problem might be of mechanical nature.
Could somebody with a Paragon 600 II SP try the following command with
a white paper with a bunch of black vertical lines on it?
scanimage -d mustek --mode lineart --resolution 95 -x 218 -y 100 > out.pnm
At present, I usually get a good scan, but every so often the lines
are displaced by 8 pixels. If you try this a couple of times and you
_always_ get good results, I'd like to hear about it.
