Good to hear that.

The scanner doesn't support anything but RGB(+I). I made the decision
not to include code that converts from RGB to greyscale into the
backend, this should really be done on the frontend side or in GIMP or
similar.

It isn't implemented yet. The IR readout works, but the driver side of
ICE is not yet available in SANE. It isn't simply a hardware feature
that needs enabling.
