Go ahead and try it with the current version, and see if that works. If you want to build a dev version:
1. install the libusb-dev package (or libusb-devel, not sure what your version of linux calls it) 2. install gcc package and it's required dependencies (though it's probably already installed) 3. download latest sane-backends from http://www.sane-project.org/snapshots/ 4. tar xzf sane-backends... 5. cd sane-backends... 6. (all on one line): BACKENDS=canon_dr ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --disable-locking 7. make (then wait awhile) 8. copy the file backend/.libs/libsane-canon_dr.so.1.0.21 over top of the copy provided by your distro, probably /usr/lib/sane/libsane-canon_dr.so.1.0.20, and copy backend/canon_dr.conf over the copy in /etc/sane.d You can save the old files before you overwrite it if you want. 9. test with scanimage Only step #8 needs to be done as root. If you dont see it or it does not work, let me know. allan On Tue, Mar 2, 2010 at 1:43 AM, D.
