sane-find-scanner should detect your scanner and print a line like "found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9, product=0x263c) at libusb:001:004", even when no backend supporting your scanner is installed. If it doesn't, run sane-find-scanner as root: SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_USB=255 sane-find-scanner -q and watch for lines containing the USBID of your scanner (0x04a9/0x263c). > is there some registering thing I missed? or perhaps some problem with > adding new definitions in the pixma drivers which is incompatible? You can start with the sane-backends CVS version (after 2006-08-27). I've checked in your patch already. Regards -- Wittawat Yamwong Hannover, Germany
