about a year ago I was on a team that developed a backend for the cannon 9000f scanner. It was submitted to Sane at that time. I checked on it six months ago and was informed that it would be review as soon a the person got back from vacation. it has not been added to the package nor have I heard from any one.
I have a copy of the dev version of the backend and have the scanner working on my computer running UBUNTU o/s as root. I can't be sure it is the version sent in. I was not the team leader he was in japan and I haven't heard from him since the sunomi. I would be willing to help in any way but did not follow the process after we got it fully working. If you need the copy I have of the working backend please let me know who to send it to. Rod
