Hi, Canon PIXMA MP970 (CCD sensor PIXMA) is now supported by the pixma backend, for both Color and Grayscale modes. This update should also benefit to older PIXMA with CCD sensor, like MP8x0 series, or MP960, but not tested yet...
Thanks to Louis, who helped testing the backend changes, and supplied lots of useful Windows USB Snoops taken with a MP970. Some work still needs to be done for the TPU unit, but requires a bit of understanding on how this mode works on the MP970. To be continued... Uploaded to CVS, feel free to report any issue.
