Hi Eric,

To Whom It May Concern,
Sorry for my previous post with the exact same info. I accidentally sent
it in HTML. Only one correction - the computer runs Lubuntu 16.04.5
instead of Lubuntu 16.04.4
SANE Scanning works great with the Canon MX490. [...]
This scanner may be supported by the pixma backend (as of version 1.0.25
of sane-backends) but is marked as untested and in need of testers.
Perhaps you could help?
@Rolf Could you tell Eric how to test and what kind of tests you want to
be done?
I couldn't find any Linux driver for it on the U.S. Canon website, but I
saw this post on the Linux Mint Forums
[https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=259251] which pointed out
that Canon Thailand has the IJ Printer Driver 5.10 for Linux at
https://support-th.canon-asia.com/contents/TH/EN/0100666902.html and
ScanGear MP Ver. 3.10 for Linux at
http://support-th.canon-asia.com/contents/TH/EN/0100667202.html
After installing those, (the printer prints and) the scanner not only
works via the ScanGear MP 3.10, but also via SimpleScan 3.20.0 and XSane
0.999 (both of which I'd already had installed).
Hmm, the LinuxMint forum post mentions that Simple Scan didn't work.
Wondering what's different.
Hope this helps,

******************************************
With ScanGear MP Version 3.50, scangearmp2 doesn't work, but Simple Scan and
XSane work fine.
The following are copied and pasted from my own notes to keep track of what I
was doing:
#I got a newer ScanGear MP Version 3.50 driver for Canon from here:
