Hi there,

I just want to write again because of extending scanner support in Drapper.

Since I suppose many users have one of those cheaper scanner devices plugged 
to their computer, it would be a good idea to extend support of such devices.

I got one of my scanner working (a Mustek CP1200). It was quite tricky, so 
users new to Ubuntu/Linux were not be able to get their scanner working.
How about a small scanner configuration tool. Something looking for a scanner 
on usb/parallel/etc, installing missing packages and enabling scanner in the 
scanner config file.
If this already exists, please tell me. I could not find any.

Further, another scanner in my house needs genesys-backend, which is 
unfortunately not included in Breezy-packages. Maybe this could be included 
in Drapper sane packages?
