I can't find this scanner in our lists.

Can you show us the output from /proc/bus/usb/devices? If you don't mind to open your scanner, you could also tell us which chips are used inside. > so I added usb /dev/usb/scanner0 to the file at > install_path/etc/sane.d/canon.conf. canon.conf is for canon SCSI scanners (see man sane-canon). > Any ide whats wrong?

If it is, you could change backend/canon630u-common.c. Search for this line: if ((vendor != 0x04a9) || (product != 0x2204)) And change it to use your product id. make clean; make ;make install. But this will only work if your scanner is compatible with the other canon USB scanners. Maybe one of the canon maintainers has more information? Bye, Henning
