Thanks very much - that is encouraging and exactly what I wanted to
know. Debian Sid has the 1.0.22 version of genesys, which is the
relevant driver, and /etc/sane.d/genesys.conf lists the Lide 110 among
the supported printers. So it _ought_to work. I was worried because I
found some people on Ubuntu who had had problems, probably on the
previous version of genesys.

I'm not bothered about the buttons - they don't work on the Epson
Perfection 1650 either, but that never worried me. How have you found
the performance of scanner itself?

Canonscan Lide 110 - anyone used this?

2011-11-23 Thread Anthony Campbell
I need to replace my Epson Perfection 1650 which has died after many
years of faithful service. I have ordered a Canonscan Lide 110, which is
said to be fully supported by the sane page, using the genesys driver.
In my Sid installation there is an entry for the 110 in
/etc/sane.d/genesys.conf. 

So it _ought_ to work, but I have come across posts in other lists
(ubuntu) where people report failure. So I have got cold feet about it
and am wondering if I ought to return it unopened. Hence my question:
has anyone used this model successfully (or not)?

2011-11-23 Thread Michael Fothergill
I tried something close to it and I couldn't make it work.   I would get a
Xerox machine.   That I think would work well with Debian.

I did make a Brother scanner work for a while with Debian and then couldn't
repeat the trick after I upgraded to Squeeze and now I cheat and use
Windows 7 to drive an HP G2410 scanner and Debian for everything else.

I doesn't use scanners very often but I used that scanner once.
At fist time, I thought that it will be a problem but for my surprise the only 
thing that I needed to do was edit the /etc/default/saned to start the daemon 
and then acquire the image with Gwenview.
It worked like a charm with:

GNU/Linux
3.1.0-1-amd64
Debian 3.1.1-1
Qt: 4.7.3
KDE Development Platform: 4.6.5 (4.6.5)
Konqueror: 4.6.5 (4.6.5)

Michel
