Re: installing scanner canon
Are you aware of the SANE website and its list of supported devices
<http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html#Z-CANON> and the sane-devel
mailing list <http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/sane-
devel>
which might be more appropriate places to consult with your problem?
You are referring to sane-find-scanner etc., so you're trying to get the
scanner to work using SANE, however your scanner is listed as "not
supported" on the above mentioned list of compatible hardware. The
reference on the Ubuntu Portugal page you gave claiming that your
scanner
works with Ubuntu doesn't list any proof/links/background etc., so
seems a
bit unreliable, if you ask me.
A quick Google search also only reveals results that show that the
scanner
doesn't work in any other OS than Windows. E.g., a German Ubuntu page
specifically lists the device as not supported on its blacklist:
<http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Hardware_blacklist>
I believe the problem is that your scanner uses a chipset for which
no one
has written a SANE backend yet. So I am afraid your scanner is (still)
unsupported, and your conclusion that after all these years of not being
supported it should work now was a bit premature.
Most (all?) scanner producers usually only provide binary drivers for
Windows. This is what you have on the CD. Of course, unfortunately,
these
are useless for all other OS like Debian.

P.S.: I now see you did look at the SANE documentation before. Maybe
try the
mailing list, but I think they won't be able to help you.

Hi,
I'm trying to install my scanner canon canoscan 3000F. Few years
ago, I
wasn't able because there was no driver for this scanner, now, it
exists. And I've found this[1], and the scanner is in this page, so,
that confirms what I said.
- - Xsane doesn't find my scanner : "no devices available".
- - # lsusb : Bus 003 Device 006: ID 04a9:2215 Canon, Inc. CanoScan
3000/3000F/3000ex
- - # sane-find-scanner
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9, product=0x2215, chip=GL660
+GL646?) at
libusb:003:006
- - My /etc/sane.d/canon.conf[2]
I think I have to install the driver of the scanner, but, how to
do ? I
don't find it in the CD-ROM for installing this scanner (the cd only
works under windows, of course but I read that if xsane doesn't
find the
scanner, we need to look for the driver on the CD-ROM...right ?).
And I
didn't find information in the sane documentation.

Any ideas?
