Hello Peter, I think the best you could do is download a CVS version of SANE, compile it, and run the sane-find-scanner -v -v command to detect a scanner: the CVS version of SANE includes much new code that will detect more of the Genesys chips. I do not think the scanner will use a pixma protocol if it uses one of those chips. Regards, Gernot Hassenpflug
