Hi Volker, If you want to read the program and backend version use: 'scanimage -V'.
You can do a test scan with 'scanimage > test.pnm'. But it's easier to use a graphic frontend like xsane. If your scanner still won't work, I need a log file from scanning a small area of approx. 5mm x 5mm @ 75dpi with: 'SANE_DEBUG_PIXMA=11 scanimage -x 5 -y5 2> pixma.log > test.pnm'.
