Hi Marc, You need to compile and install SANE if you change something in the code. The installation is described in README.linux, which comes with the code or read here: http://www.sane-project.org/README.linux.
Additional to the install description you need to add your scanner to the udev.rules file. You don't need to set PIXMA_EXPERIMENT=1. If you want to see the debug output you need to set 'export SANE_DEBUG_PIXMA=4' and start xsane from the command line. 'export SANE_DEBUG_PIXMA=11' is useful if you want to see the usb protocols. Don't hestitate to contact me if you have any problems. Cheers, Rolf Am 09.09.2013 23:15, schrieb Marc Mar?: > I looked at the code, and I found the MP250 definitions.
