[sane-devel] annoying bug in sp15c backend ?

[m. allan noah]

my preference would be to help Rene extend the Avision backend to
fully support these machines (or maybe break the avision backend into
two- older and newer machines) and drop the sp15c backend from sane.
you've used both backends, how much better is sp15c?
