All done.

There is a symlink pointing nowhere there? ? ?

Exactly what I got.

I _did_ read it, and discovered that after I toggled to
"Remote Scanner" I then had to press the OK button. That
was what settled things. For my scanner now 'works'.
The command 'scanimge > test ' took a while to execute,
which is not surprising, since it yielded a
Netpbm PPM "rawbits" image data
file of size 1683875. I took several images, a couple of
elaborately colored ads of the beauties of Japan, and
the images showed up gorgeously. The physical
Canon I have certainly is a fine piece of equipment.

It certainly does/did! RTFM! and now that I've done
so, and pressed the OK button, things seem to be working.
I've got to find out how to do B&W scans, which means
studying the man page for scanimage. I'll stick around
this E-list for a while, just in case I have further
questions I can't solve by myself.
Herr Bensch, bitte nehme Sie meinen tiefsten Dank an! wegen Ihres
Wissen und, vor allem, Ihrer Geduld!!
