I just picked the not too old one which would compile on my system to 
see if it would make any difference.

After some web searching here is the ubuntu 7.10 version

/pool/main/s/sane-backends/sane-backends_1.0.19~cvs20070505-3ubuntu2.dsc
/pool/main/s/sane-backends/sane-backends_1.0.19~cvs20070505-3ubuntu2.diff.gz
/pool/main/s/sane-backends/sane-backends_1.0.19~cvs20070505.orig.tar.gz

and for ubuntu 7.04:
/pool/main/s/sane-backends/sane-backends_1.0.18-3ubuntu1.dsc
/pool/main/s/sane-backends/sane-backends_1.0.18-3ubuntu1.diff.gz
/pool/main/s/sane-backends/sane-backends_1.0.18.orig.tar.gz
/pool/main/x/xsane/xsane_0.99+0.991-1ubuntu2.dsc
/pool/main/x/xsane/xsane_0.99+0.991-1ubuntu2.diff.gz
/pool/main/x/xsane/xsane_0.99+0.991.orig.tar.gz

In all cases, the gray scale option is not available. I may have dreamed of it then. Sorry for the trouble.

The question is now : is it possible to add the grayscale option to the front-ends for the HP5400 driver ? I'm scanning a lot of bank statements and color is not a good idea


Thanks.
Guillaume
