Hi! I am currently trying to get the Canon P-215 document scanner working with SANE backends 1.0.24 from Debian unstable, the scanner is reported to have basic support.
The scanner integrates a USB mass storage device to store drivers and applications for Windows and MacOS allowing the scanner to be used without the hassle of dealing with installation media. Thus, when connecting the scanner to my Linux box, it's shown as a mass storage device with a different device ID (0x1647 instead of 0x1646 which is the device ID listed in /etc/sane.d/ canon_dr.conf). I have been playing around with usb_modeswitch to set the scanner into scanner mode, but without success. Does anyone know the proper call to usb_modeswitch to invoke the scanner mode? Since the scanner has been reported to work with SANE, I suppose someone knows how to do that :). Cheers, Adrian -- .''`.
