I do know it is supported pretty well in 9.10 as I have tried using it with the alpha 3 release. One of the key features in an ADF scanner is the ability to auto detect the page length when the document runs through the scanner. The upcoming version of libsane 1.0.20 lacks this feature in the fujitsu backend. I have been in contact with the developer of the fujitsu sane backend and have paid him to make this important feature functional. The work is done and I have tested it in both the 32 And 64 bit versions of 9.10 Alpha 3, and it works perfectly. The developer has uploaded the changes to the git repository for sane and it is in version libsane-fujitsu.so.1.0.21. Is there any way to get this updated fujitsu backend included in the upcoming Karmic release? Failing that, I have to compile the driver and overwrite the libsane-fujitsu.so.1.0.20 version with the libsane-fujitsu.so.1.0.21. I can do this, but for the average user, it would be much easier to have the improved driver in there in the first place. Would it make any sense to add this to libsane-extras? Once sane releases its 1.0.21 version, the new driver will be in it, but I was hoping to see it sooner if possible.
