I am happy to do testing or assist in any way that I can.
Kind regards,
Bill

Hi Bill,
Your scanner isn't supported by SANE. I suppose you're using Canon's
ScanGear driver. Please ask Canon for technical support.
Maybe somebody else can help with your xsane issues.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Rolf

Dear Sir/Madam:
My system is Ubuntu 18.04.2 with a new Canon Pixma TS6220, which
replaces an HP Photosmart 6520.
All of the following comments refer to my new Canon printer.
Xsane with my recently retired HP works perfectly (except, I think
the Canon images are the better).
1) I am able to move the dashed lines to frame the print to be
scanned, but the output always contains the images of what ever is
on the platen on a "full size" white background.
2) I have selected “inches” as the unit of measurement, but the
preview window has “px” in the upper left corner, and the
dimensions in the windows at the bottom of the main menu are in
pixels. These dimensions do not change as I adjust the frame of the
photo to be scanned and always read 2480*3507*24 (24.9MB).
3) There are no length markings along the side or top of the preview
window.
4) In Advanced Options, the UOM displays “px”. The sliders
change as I adjust the frame, but for a 4” x 6” photo in the
upper left corner, the lower right corner is shown to be .00235x,
.00154y.
5) For all resolutions > 75 ppi, the scanned image of the photos is
very dark/saturated – beyond my ability to correct.
6) Max scan resolution in the main menu is only 300, whereas it is
1200 with the HP scanner.
This printer is WiFi equipped, but I am using it with a usb
cable as my pc and printer are on the 2nd floor of our house while
the router and my wife’s pc are on the 1st floor. I am willing to
help out in the testing of your Pixma backend if I can be of any
assistance.
Kind regards,
Bill

Bonsour,
I find it unfortunate that the backend pixma does not take input usb-id.
The pixma driver supports all printer scanners:
canon pixma ts and canon pixma mg.
Currently you have to add it directly in the code.
Here is the patch that allows sane to operate to scan.
