Hi, I have been unable to get my Canon 700f to work with Ubuntu 12.04. I've tried all the tricks and tips I could find with no success. As far as I can tell I'm running all the latest and greatest. I found where Matus Sabo requested assistance and I'll include your exchange below. His description is exactly what I'm seeing. Xsane fails with "Invalid Argument" as well as scanimage -T. sane-find-scanner finds the scanner as well as scanimage -L. The device is in the rules file and I can see it as root or user. I just cant scan. When I get the "invalid argument" the device number is deleted and shows up again with the next sequential number. System log only shows that a new device was found. I'd really like to get this working as I love Gimp but the Windows version crashes regularly but the Ubuntu version can't use the scanner. Help!!

There is no 'WARNING' in current git source tree. You can check it by setting debug before running the same commands with: export SANE_DEBUG_GENESYS=255 The debug messages should report a '1.0 build 2302' version if latest version is ran. Since SANE 1.0.23 is about to be released, I think PPA for this release will be available soon. It may be a matter of a week or two. Meanwhile, you could check the libsane-genesys.so.1.0.23 library is present in /usr/lib/sane or in /usr/lib64/sane (on 64bits systems). Also check that you don't have both subdirectories.
