I have commited the next version of the updated fujitsu backend to sane cvs. I have gotten some feedback from users of current USB models that the new backend supports their scanners in most cases.
the changes over version up7 primarily include duplex support for most models, and some minor corrections. the desc file and manpage have also been updated. but- the following issues have cropped up: 1. some minor bugs in option handling, especially flatbed vs adf. 2. significant speed decrease due to single threading 3. M3091 and 92 color and duplex modes still broken. 4. some model-specific details not coded, because they cannot be queried from the hardware directly. as such- i have updated my webpage to have a tarball of the previous version of the backend. if you find that the cvs copy lacks some feature of the older version, you should revert to that, and let me know. at this point, the wider circulation of a sane cvs inclusion or sane backends release will help uncover additional issues. i will work to correct known issues ASAP. allan -- "so don't tell us it can't be done, putting down what you don't know. money isn't our god, integrity will free our souls" - Max Cavalera
