Bug Description

When I scan a page in text mode, simple-scan selects Gray mode instead of Lineart. This result in a less than satisfactory scan result.
With XSane, I can scan using Lineart mode without issue.

I use a Fujitsu ScanSnap S300 duplex scanner.

It would be really nice to have an option or a config file to force the scan mode for a scan type (Color/Text).

Robert, could you clarify if it is intended to use Gray Mode (i think it was something like 4 Colors) or Lineart?
If it is working as intended this is a duplicate of the "allow user controlled settings" bugs, otherwise it is a different bug...

Simple Scan changed to using gray mode as lineart there were a lot of bugs that lineart produced poor results in many drivers / hardware. There is bug 658792 about an advanced option to choose lineart or grayscale.
