Problem: ADF-Duplex does not work-
Scanning with --source flatbed or --source ADF works just fine.
But when trying ADF Duplex it doesn work at all.
as --search recognizes ADF Duplex it seems to be available.
For example:
pct-scanner-script --color --source ADF Duplex --resolution 300 --device hp5590:
resolves in the message:
"outdir not set, try adding --outdir /home/kaktux, closing now"
while exactly the same example with ADF only:
pct-scanner-script --color --source ADF --resolution 300 --device hp5590:
works just fine.
Another - now solved poblem with the package was: lineart does not work-
It gabe the error message:
"scanadf: unrecognized option '--compression'"
could be solved by deleting "--compression None" in /usr/bin/

I am confirming this for the following configuration:
HP Scanjet 5590
Ubuntu 11.04
gscan2pdf
It's a nuisance that Ubuntu claims on its compatibility pages that this scanner works fine.
