[sane-devel] ERROR: Sane gives 8 or 16 bit grayscale but not 1 bit B&W

[Rev. John Missing]

I am running a Scanmaker 4800 with the sm3840 driver and I've been able
to get almost everything working correctly except the color depth. I
need to be able to do black and white scans, not merely grayscale. I
know the scanner is capable of handling 1-bit color depth which is also
supported by Kooka, but I don't even get the opportunity to select it. I
know this is not a problem in Kooka, because XSane and Quiteinsane also
have the problem.
Is there some configuration file that needs to be setup to allow this
option?
