No, I?m just a noob who scratched his head while trying to read through the documentation. I am not a developer, I am a Mac OS X end user who wants to be able to scan from the command line so that I can automate some repetitive scanning tasks. Following Chris?s suggestion, I did $ cd ~/Desktop/scanning_from_the_command_line/sane-scm-2009-03-24/sane- backends/ $ make distclean $ export BACKENDS="pixma canon" $ ./configure &> configure.log This still results in the warnings about IOKit/scsi/SCSITaskLib.h that I previously posted, but as Chris suggested, I ignored those because my scanner is USB not SCSI. $ make check &> makecheck.log $ make &> make.log $ sudo make install &> makeinstall.log $ sane-find-scanner &> sane-find-scanner.log found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9 [Canon], product=0x172c [MX850 series]) at libusb:007:002-04a9-172c-00-00 $ scanimage -L &> scanimage-L.log device `pixma:04A9172C_21B0DA' is a CANON Canon PIXMA MX850 multi- function peripheral $ export SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_USB=255 $ export SANE_DEBUG=255 $ export SANE_DEBUG_PIXMA=20 $ scanimage -d pixma:04A9172C_21B0DA -T &> scanimage.log And now I am back to where I was on Saturday: scanimage hangs.
