Lists the Pixma MX850 support as "Complete" with "All resolutions supported (up to 2400DPI). Flatbed, ADF simplex and Duplex supported." over both USB and Ethernet, with the pixma backend (see the "sane-pixma" manpage). So that should work out-of-the-box.:) Petter
Thanks a lot, Peter. It just keeps getting better.apt-get install sane and xsane. The latter pulled the scanner and I scanned without a sweat.
Awesome. It's looking, day after day, as if I'm not going back to OSX or Windows; anymore!
I knew about sane way back when, when informed forms then talked of linux as a project, a hobby; but boy! has stuff come a long way. And my hat's off to folks like those on SANE, they have been around almost as long as Linux. And sane has some great features I have not seen in all these years.
Thanks a lot, Peter. Great suggestion.
