i tried using 'scanimage --mode Lineart' and got some error back about
an invalid mode, i think.  so i guess the scanner really is limited.  i
can't believe scanners are still manufactured without the ability to
scan lineart.

we have a ton of text documents that need to be scanned, and lineart is
the best option.  the ADF works well and i can easily create multi-page
PDF's with xsane, too.  does anyone know of an easy/batch method to
convert PNG and PDF files to lineart?

thanks.
