scanimage and HP scanners

Greetings,

I've noticed something odd about scanimage and the hp backend. It seems as
if the value for the resolution gets ignored if the resolution parameter
is specified before the mode parameter and the mode is set to 'color',
i.e.:

scanimage --resolution=100 --mode=color > /tmp/out.pnm

The scanners default value for the resolution (e.g. 300) will be used
instead. The problem doesn't occur if you specify the mode first and the
resolution next.

I should say that this happens on UnixWare. Could someone check whether
this is a problem on another OS, too?
