I checked that already. That is fine with me. It is easy
for me to half-rise from my chair, press the Scan button
on the Canon . . . and then issue my scanimage command
The sane-pixma man page speaks of the 'device pixma'; but
I have tried ls /dev/pixma" and am told that a device
with such a name doesn't exist. There is confusion here?
or is 'pixma . ." hidden in some subdirectory?

I would love to try xsane, simple-scan, etc! But I
think I have to install some front-ends(?) or utils,
and I am fearful of breaking what now seems to work
quite well. Suggestions?

It does indeed! This morning I was able to scan
the very colorful Japenese advertisement I wrote of
yesterdeay, but today in Gray scale.
My new desires: what /dev/ is this Canon scanner? and how to
use other front-ends? are just that: desires. They are not
needs. Again, I am most grateful!!
