Dear Jeremy

But be assured that I know Sane since a very long time (have a look at my sane frontend Tame/2 for OS/2, anybody remebers ? It was the first and only OS/2 scanning application supporting USB thanks to Maeda Haruyuki- a japanese developer). I remember debugging sessions with Osaka (where Maeda lived) and Lithuania (where the OS/2 USB-Stack developers worked) to get it running.

Even a longer time I have linux experiences (starting with DLD-Linux 2.0 in the early ninties) and a quite long ubuntu experience (6.06 for private use and since 7.04 my whole company is equipped with ubuntu on currently > 40 desktops ).

Scanning was always a nightmare and adventure (e.g. I support a lawyers company who uses Ubuntu in Virtual Box for only one reason: their Scanner is no longer supported by windows)

To make it short: It would be great if Ubuntu could continue to support scanners like it did in the past.
