Hi, thanks, I believe I have (finally) successfully built and installed sane-backends. However, I'm still unable to get xsane / scanimage to identify my scanner.
It is a Canon PIXMA 3100 series. It is available by wireless or by USB. sane-find-scanners detects the PIXMA by USB, but not by wifi: scanimage -L does not detect the scanner at all. Where to proceed from here? *Output from both commands:* $ sane-find-scanner # sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the # result is different from what you expected, first make sure your # scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer. # No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that # you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter. found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9 [Canon], product=0x1752 [MG3100 series]) at libusb:002:005 # Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage. # Not checking for parallel port scanners. # Most Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports # can't be detected by this program. # You may want to run this program as root to find all devices. Once you # found the scanner devices, be sure to adjust access permissions as # necessary. [09:35:40AM 04-09-2013] ~ $ scanimage -L No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different, check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
