I suggest to include it into the current release with a note that mentions the limitation. Reviews say the the quality difference to 9600dpi is minimal. Al

Of course it can be improved, there are some things that are not implemented yet (like difference between neg pos scans) so if you notice something please let me know.

The CanoScan 9000F http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoActfcategoryid=120modelid=20411 seems to be very similar to the 8800F, which is supported according http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html#Z-CANON The only difference I found: 9000F: Max. Resolutions Optical: 3 9600 x 9600 dpi (film) / 4800 x 4800 (all other media) Interpolated: Interpolated: 19,200 x 19,200 dpi Scanning Mode Color: 48-bit internal/48 or 24-bit external Grayscale: 48-bit internal/16-bit (film scanning only)/8-bit external 8800F: Max. Resolutions Optical: 4800 x 9600 dpi Interpolated: 19,200 x 19,200 dpi Scanning Mode Color: 48-bit internal / 48-bit external (selectable in driver) Grayscale: 48-bit internal / 8-bit external/16-bit internal (for film scanning only) If there is no knowledge of the 9000F re sane, which info could I give you, if I can test this model a little bit?
