Hello Mr. Geometra Massimo Claudio Luigi Violetta, That is quite a long name! Welcome! Don't worry about the English, if we can communicate even via translator soft that is great. > I would like to participate in the development of the driver for the scanner > of the multifunction Canon PIXMA GM5150: > http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html # Z-CANON > PIXMA MG5100 Series. > If you tell me what to do, I will be happy to help. > Thank you. OK. I think MG5100 should work already in CVS sane. Can you get sane from CVs repository (need git), and compile on your system? you can use $ BACKENDS="pixma" ./configure $ make $ sudo make install (read the README.linux for more details). If you can try color scanning at 75, 150, 300, 600, 1200 dpi please let me know if it works or not. If it does not work, then we need to get USB sniff traces from Windows XP. But first, please let me know how much it works with current SANE software. Best regards, Gernot Hassenpflug
