"tamarack" is the old non-sane driver, I still have to find some time
to convert that to SANE. The printer pbm is because that printer of
mine doesn't grok postscript. So Ghostscript converts stuff to pbm and
I have a pbm-to-printer conversion tool. So if I have a high res pbm
picture, I send it directly to the pbm-to-printer tool .
