Very many thanks for the testing! What I have as default canon.conf in our newest sane package results the same but it is a bit more verbose and /dev/scanner is no longer mentioned because it is outdated. --------------------------------------------------------------------- # canon.conf # # Activate exactly one of the following choices: # # Probe on all /dev/sg* devices: scsi # # Probe for "CANON" on all /dev/sg* devices: #scsi CANON # # Probe only on one fixed device: #/dev/sg0 --------------------------------------------------------------------- I suggest to have this one as default in the next SANE version or perhaps "scsi CANON" to be a bit more safe but only if all scanners which are supported by the canon backend use exactly this manufacturer name (as I don't know this I used only "scsi").
