Also ensure that your user pertains to the "scanner" group (id).well....... i put the MP280 line in the /lib/udev/rules.d/60-.../&& yet the machine did not appear in xsane. what did i do wrong? (that is what i meant by 'it did not work out well')
that is to say: xsane does not do the job up till now. but, as a stubborn friesian, i will not give up.
Errr... steef, you have to test with the Canon scanning software
("scangearmp").
i did that and the scanner is working like a charm. sorry. i should have told you that. the point is: i could not stand *not* to get xsane working
(i looked further gain into /var/log/dmesg. dmesg tells me the canon is recognized).I can't tell with it does not work within xsane (my guess is that your device is not directly supported by sane), but remember you have installed a set of utilities from Canon to get your devie working so you have to use Canon provided tools ;-)
as i wrote: the cannon tools work like a charm now. thank you again very much for your support! cheers, steef
