Frankly, your front-end program should save your preferences for things like page size, so you only set them once. I was pretty sure that xsane did so. For a front-end that does not, we could change sane-backends defaults on a per-backend basis, I suppose. I the backends I wrote (which includes fujitsu) it should be easy. For example, edit backend/fujitsu.c and search for 8.5 and 11 (the width and height of US Letter). Change those as required and recompile. A better long term solution would be to make the default sizes configurable from the backend's config file. I will think about the best way to do that.
