From: john connolly on 5 Jan 2010 11:31 Hi, I have used my canon (all purpose) pixma 210 with xsane on slack 12.2 but I can't get xsane to recognize it, either as user or root on slack 13. I have built the driver (from mp150-0.14.2u), as before, and added myself to the scanner and lp listing in /etc/group. I can print with it through cups and when I run the scan program that comes in the driver package I can create image files from the scanner. The kernel loads usblp0 when the device is turned on. sane-find-scanner finds it but scanimage -L does not. I notice that the /dev/usb structure in slack 12.2 is very differenct from that in slack 13 (all my system has is /dev/usb/lp0) but I don't know what to make of that. Any ideas? thanks, jwc

Any ideas? thanks, jwc Sorry for this post. I read the directions more carefully and it is necessary to replace the default /usr/lib/sane/libsane-pixma.so.1.0.19 with the libsane-pixma.so.1 which is generated in the build process. It is, however, necessary to keep the soft links that are already present intact.

Any ideas? thanks, jwc Had similar issues with Canon Lido scanners. Xsane wouldn't find the port it is connected to, xscanimage would. Both rely on Sane. I just de- installed Xsane and installed a newer version (from Freshmeat) and it is fine now. Xsane in SL13 seems to be faulty. |
