James, I think you need to spend some time with scanimage --help at the command line, and see what does and doesn't work. You should be able to set the source to something like 'ADF Front' and add the -b flag to scanimage, and get a batch of sheetfed scans.
If you don't, then we can try to do some debugging. Also, it is helpful if you tell what version of sane-backends you are using. allan On Fri, Sep 19, 2014 at 6:32 AM, James Herrick <wideb...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi all, > > I have a Canon DR-7080C at work that I can no longer use with supported > versions of windows because the driver support only goes up to windows > vista.
