+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #693206 +++ Description of problem: When using the "scan all pages from document feeder" option with Simple Scan, it appears to ignore the paper size setting in preferences, producing documents that are "legal"-ish in size that need to be cropped. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.32.0.1-1.fc14 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set "page size" in simple scan to letter 2. Scan all pages from feeder, text Actual results: Pages scanned are "legal" size Expected results: Pages scanned are selected size Additional info: I notice that no matter what preference is set, creating a "new" document also defaults to some kind of legal-like size. It may be that simple scan is completely ignoring document size preferences whatsoever. I am also using an HP Laserjet 3030 using the HPLIP drivers. But that probably shouldn't matter in this case. --- Additional comment from Fedora End Of Life on 2012-08-16 10:36:37 EDT --- This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
On Fedora 17, with all updates as of late 2013 January, I had this problem with a Fujitsu fi-6130 sheet-fed scanner. I was scanning A4 documents, with A4 selected as the size. I got US-letter size results (truncated scans). I fiddled with xsane and had a similar problem. Then I went back the Simple-scan and got the right result. Odd! I also had trouble with page length with a-page-at-a-time scanning with a Brother DCP-7065. This probably does not count since it has a proprietary SANE driver. In this thread, the author of gscan2pdf points out the the scanning program must set the size two places for the fi-6130. <http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=30413642>
This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life.

Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
