This bug is still there for the brscan driver; apparently the fix only applies to the brscan3 driver. I have a Brother MFC-9700, which uses the brscan driver. In Ubuntu 10.04, Simple Scan worked as expected; a text scan was fast and black and white. Now that I've upgraded to Ubuntu 13.04, text scans are slow and grey-scale.
