I realize that you must be a very busy person. I have acquired a new in the box
FS2720U and I am running XP PRO. The installation disk will not let me install
it. It seems that the drivers needed are not there for XP. In searching Google
I have found a whole bunch of discussions about this... sites to go to, no
Canon support, different manufactures drivers that work etc...
I am 83 and a WW2@ pilot. I have over 1000 35MM black and white negs that I
would like to digiitize and then put them on a CD for my kids and grandkids and
great grandkids. In addition I have hundreds of mounted color slides of the
years 1947 till 1996, when I got my first digital camera....
NOW.. if you will, in easy terms for an old man.... what drivers or other item
do I need to oprate this on XP? OR SHOULD I JUST PUT IT ON EBAY AND SELL IT????
Thank you for any help you might give to me.

yes. the fujitsu backend has been nearly completely rewritten between sane
1.0.17 and .18. Many of the options provided by the backend may have
changed names or take a different range of options. if your scripts are
coded to look for certain option names, they will no longer work.

what do you mean 'NOT accepted', do you get an error?

what messages do they provide? my copy says:
-x 0..224.846mm (in steps of 0.0211639) [215.872]
Width of scan-area.
-y 0..863.489mm (in steps of 0.0211639) [279.364]
Height of scan-area.
--pagewidth 0..224.846mm (in steps of 0.0211639) [215.872]
Must be set properly to align scanning window
--pageheight 0..863.489mm (in steps of 0.0211639) [279.364]
Must be set properly to eject pages

-l and -x are not the same as --pagewidth. the last tells the scanner the
size of the paper so it can decide where the left margin on the adf
is located. the other two set the location of the area that will be
scanned. note that the pagewidth must be larger than the location you are
trying to scan, or you will likely get an error.

this is common to all multi-word options accessed by scanimage, and not
fujitsu specific. the output that you see is generated by scanimage.
perhaps scanimage could check for whitespace inside a string arg, and put
quotes around it before display.

maybe escape the quotes with a \ when you build your SCAN_OPTS variable?
this is really a bash question, not a sane question.
