It works for the flatbed scanner on my HP all-in-one
(over the network) and used to work for my old Fujitsu
ScanSnap (over USB), which supported duplex color scanning.

(I see there's a new ScanSnap model out, decided to buy one to
replace the other one, which finally crapped out on me.  Will
let you know if it works with xsane or not.)
