Hi, I have a Canon Lide 80, I switch to linux in 2007 and subscribe to this list in 2008... So when I need to scan i have to start a virtual machine with windows XP because this scanner is listed as unsupported. Since 2008 I learn a few things and may be I can help making this scanner as supported even is my background as programmer is more Cobol oriented...
From what I read on the list I completed the following steps: On my computer running Ubuntu 10.04 x86_64 2.6.32-25-generic #45 - star Virtual Box with windows XP - install USBsnoop - log the calibration phase - log a small black and white scan at 75 dpi - log a small color scan at 75 dpi - get a fresh copy of sane fron git and compile it - change some genesys_device files so my scanner can be recognized and use canon lide 60 as model - run /usr/local/bin/sane-find-scanner found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9 [Canon], product=0x2214 [CanoScan], chip=GL842) at libusb:001:006 - run /usr/local/bin/scanimage > test.png the scanner moved and start scanning for 5 seconds then stop and get stuck as I 'm rigth now ;-) You can find all files and logs at the following web site: https://sites.google.com/site/cialsane/ What can be the next steps ?
