[sane-devel] What scanners are the developers using?

[m. allan noah]

I do not have a Fujitsu scanner with network capabilities, nor any
documentation about the protocol they speak. I also have no need to put
something on the network that is sitting in arms reach :) So, I have not
added support to the fujitsu backend for these scanners.
