:) I guess I'll hold of >8bit support until there is some agreement on it. I
can tell you right now that if my frontend has to specifically support
different scanners for >8bit that it ain't going to happen. I doubt this is
the desire of the SANE project either.

Which is MSB xxxxxx98 76543210 is the way that the HP backend data then it
is perfectly acceptable, lame but acceptable. It just doesn't scale the
value and the image will need to be brightened... if it is bit packed then
that is a problem.
