Thanks. I'll put some time into making the printer part work, later. Meanwhile, I didn't pay close enough attention to what xsane was telling me earlier. I'm used to getting a message from xsane on my Ubuntu 10.04 machine telling me it couldn't find a scanner when I'd for gotten to turn it on, and/or hadn't done a SCSI rescan after rebooting. The version of xsane on that machine is 0.996. When I started up xsane on my Ubuntu 12.04 machine I saw a similar small window and assumed it had the same problem. However, that little window went dim for a long period of seconds -- probably 30 seconds or so -- and then several xsane windows opened. What I didn't pay attention to was the one that had a window title of, "Standard Options Canon PIXMA MP620:MP620". (Not sure if there is anything following the second iteration of MP620 since it's up against the right edge of the window's title bar, and the window is of a fixed size.) Anyway, I put something on the scanner and xsane scanned it. The version of xsane on Ubuntu 12.04 is 0.998. It must include something in it that isn't in version 0.996 that allows it to find the network scanner. So, success with scanning, and more to pursue on printing. Thanks for the link. It showed me that xsane was up to 1.20 back in 2009, even though Ubuntu is still only at 0.998 today. (I installed xsane on the 12.04 machine this afternoon.) -- Regards, Dick Steffens _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
