I am the one who maintains the apple backend (officially) and I can't
hide that I have been suprised. I don't understand for which release are
you talking about. Chances are that OneScanner !!may!! scan after
sane-0.74 release. There is absulotely no possibility to scan with a
SANE version prior to 0.74 (with the apple backend and the OneScanner or
ColorOneScanner). For 0.74 and above I have reports for almost working
(with a small patch) ColorOneScanners in non color modes. I think that
you have a plain AppleScanner (4bits, 16shades of gray) and you confused
it with an OneScanner (8bit, 256shades of gray)

implicated programs/libraries.

LIBC/GLIBC
