Package: libsane-common Version: 1.0.25-4.1 Followup-For: Bug #853873 Dear Maintainer,
I wanted to buy a new scanner. Checked on page http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html#Z-CANON that Canon CanoScan LiDE 120 Scanner has complete support. Bought the Scanner. Plugged in Canon CanoScan LiDE 120 Scanner user> scanimage -L (No scanner was detected.) root> scanimage -L device `genesys:libusb:001:014' is a Canon LiDE 120 flatbed scanner I figured that the reason is that the device is mounted as owner:group root:root root> lsusb ... Bus 001 Device 014: ID 04a9:190e Canon, Inc. ... root> ls -l /dev/bus/usb/001/014 crw-rw-r-- 1 root root 189, 13 Jun 23 10:10 /dev/bus/usb/001/014 Changing group to 'scanner' allows user to detect and activate the scanner, but this is not a good solution, since the group has to be changed anew after each new plugin of the scanner. So I proceed as root. root> xsane Select [continue at your own risk] Press [Acquire preview] After about 30 sec the scanner starts to work, scanner light-bar is on and moves properly (I have unlocked the scanner). Resulting preview is completely black, Gamma in the xsane panel is at max 3.00, brightness is at max 100., contrast is at max 100. I found several forum posts with the same problem, some report they have fixed it somehow. I didn't manage. I tried to add deb http://ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports/ experimental main to my /etc/apt/sources.list file to install libsane-common version 1.0.26 but got the error message N: Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-amd64/Packages' as repository 'http://ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports experimental InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'amd64' N: Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-i386/Packages' as repository 'http://ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports experimental InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'i386' So, I quit my attempt here and hope for help from your side. If this cannot be fixed easily, then PLEASE do not claim on page http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html#Z-CANON that the scanner has complete support. It should be classified Unsupported. My computer is a Lenovo X240 ThinkPad.
