[sane-devel] Problem with setting Fujitsu fi-4120c to Grayscale

[Peter Chen]

I tried scanimage with --mode=gray, and it worked fine. But I could not do
it with --duplex=both. It said:
scanimage: sane_start: invalid argument. scanadf did not work either.

I'm using RedHat 7.2 with fi-4120c, and I feel it works fine with usb, at
least now:). When I tried to use sane-find-scanner under RedHat 7.1, it gave
me a lot of 'minor errors', so I changed to RedHat 7.2.

I figured out that I have to use (void *) to pass to sane_control_option.
Now I can setup grayscale and adf in my application.

Thanks a lot,
