Unfortunately my report was premature. The backend did successfully manage a 1 page ADF scan followed by an ADF empty test, but more normal use profile failed as:
o Placed 9 sheets in ADF o launched xsane w ADF/multipage=9 o ask for and received preview, adjusted color with white eyedropper o ask for scan, failed After this, the MX892 was locked out regardless of several retries/variations including power cycling MX892, removing ~/.sane, removing cnijfilter and rebuild/reinstall 16 May git. All variations error as follows: > [sanei_debug] Setting debug level of pixma to 11. > [pixma] pixma is compiled without pthread support. > [pixma] pixma version 0.17.2 > [pixma] Scanner model found: Name MX890(Canon PIXMA MX890 Series) matches > MX890 series > [pixma] pixma_collect_devices() found Canon PIXMA MX890 Series at > bjnp://canon:8612 > [pixma] pixma_find_scanners() found 1 devices > [pixma] Scanner model found: Name MX890(Canon PIXMA MX890 Series) matches > MX890 series > [pixma] pixma_collect_devices() found Canon PIXMA MX890 Series at > bjnp://canon:8612 > [pixma] pixma_open(): Canon PIXMA MX890 Series > [bjnp] bjnp_open_tcp: Can not connect to scanner: Connection refused > [pixma] pixma_connect() failed EINVAL > [pixma] pixma_open() failed EINVAL > [pixma] pixma_close(): Canon PIXMA MX890 Series > /tmp$ exit > exit > Script done, file is mx892.log Unfortunately this means the MX892 is unreliable and will be returned to Amazon. I'll do my backend homework better next time.
