[sane-devel] Canon DR-7080C

[m. allan noah]

James, I think you need to spend some time with scanimage --help at
the command line, and see what does and doesn't work. You should be
able to set the source to something like 'ADF Front' and add the -b
flag to scanimage, and get a batch of sheetfed scans.

If you don't, then we can try to do some debugging. Also, it is
helpful if you tell what version of sane-backends you are using.
