Note: since my last posting, I have installed the ScanGear software. I did, after all, buy this MX850 because I need to scan and print. If this is a problem, let me know and I can remove the Canon software temporarily for testing. I saved the attached pixma_bjnp.c to ~/Desktop/scanning_from_the_command_line/sane-scm-2009-03-27/sane- backends/backend/pixma_bjnp.c then $ cd ~/Desktop/scanning_from_the_command_line/sane-scm-2009-03-27/sane- backends/ $ sudo make uninstall $ make distclean $ export BACKENDS="canon pixma" $ ./configure $ make $ sudo make install Disconnected MX850 from USB; connected to Ethernet; confirmed self- assigned IP. $ export SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_USB=255 $ export SANE_DEBUG_PIXMA=20 $ export SANE_DEBUG=255 $ scanimage -T &> scanimage-T.log That was so successful, that I tried $ scanimage --format=tiff > image.tiff 2> scanimage.log and ended up with an actual scan in image.tiff. The logs are in http://members.shaw.ca/schoenrank.ca/2009-03-27_sane_testing.6/ Many thanks to you, Louis. Peter ----- Peter Schoenrank mailto: peter at schoenrank.ca phone: 250-655-6753
