[sane-devel] missing PFU alias QUATO

[m. allan noah]

i dont know anything about osx, but the sane-find-scanner program comes 
with sane. perhaps it does not build properly on osx, are you sure you 
installed all the sane packages?

this thing does appear to be a fujitsu product based on web searches for 
the model#. it will not be supported by the sane backend however, because 
of the vendor string being PFU instead of FUJITSU.

can you compile sane-backends yourself on your machine? if so, we can make 
a couple changes to the fujitsu backend to attempt to get some data out of 
the scanner...
