Hello, at the website there was a hint "testers needed" for that device. I try to get it running on a Ubuntu 14.04 environment.
First shot with on board sane version 1.0.14-9 failed. after downloading an installing 1.0.24 (stable) as well as sane-backends-git20140913 I had no success. ================================ what I did: FILE=https://alioth.debian.org/frs/download.php/file/3958/sane-backends-1.0.24.tar.gz FILE=http://www.sane-project.org/snapshots/sane-backends-git20140913.tar.gz wget $FILE tar xzvf <$FILE> cd [sane-backends-1.0.24|sane-backends-git20140913] ./configure make sudo make install sudo sane-find-scanner ================================ With the Ubuntu (old) sane version there were listed 2 devices: 1. HP-Scanner (works) 2. Lenovo? fingerprint reader With the fresh compiled source versions no scanners have been detected. sane-find-scanner pixma:04a9176c_123456 syslog after plugging my scanner to the computer: Sep 13 10:55:01 mwellnitz-ThinkPad-T500 kernel: [54821.508096] usb 1-1: new high-speed USB device number 4 using ehci-pci Sep 13 10:55:01 mwellnitz-ThinkPad-T500 kernel: [54821.645013] usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=04a9, idProduct=176c Sep 13 10:55:01 mwellnitz-ThinkPad-T500 kernel: [54821.645024] usb 1-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 Sep 13 10:55:01 mwellnitz-ThinkPad-T500 kernel: [54821.645030] usb 1-1: Product: MG2400 series Sep 13 10:55:01 mwellnitz-ThinkPad-T500 kernel: [54821.645036] usb 1-1: Manufacturer: Canon Sep 13 10:55:01 mwellnitz-ThinkPad-T500 kernel: [54821.645041] usb 1-1: SerialNumber: 123456 Sep 13 10:55:01 mwellnitz-ThinkPad-T500 mtp-probe: checking bus 1, device 4: "/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/usb1/1-1" Sep 13 10:55:01 mwellnitz-ThinkPad-T500 mtp-probe: bus: 1, device: 4 was not an MTP device Sep 13 10:55:01 mwellnitz-ThinkPad-T500 kernel: [54821.683171] calling usblp_driver_init+0x0/0x1000 [usblp] @ 20828 Sep 13 10:55:01 mwellnitz-ThinkPad-T500 kernel: [54821.686903] usblp 1-1:1.1: usblp2: USB Bidirectional printer dev 4 if 1 alt 0 proto 2 vid 0x04A9 pid 0x176C Sep 13 10:55:01 mwellnitz-ThinkPad-T500 kernel: [54821.687808] usbcore: registered new interface driver usblp Sep 13 10:55:01 mwellnitz-ThinkPad-T500 kernel: [54821.687817] initcall usblp_driver_init+0x0/0x1000 [usblp] returned 0 after 4528 usecs (the serial number ist modified for security reasons) Do I have to install new sane-frontend software as well? What can I do to provide you with useful informations to get it working or at least to know that it would never work wit that version or setup? thanks Marcus -- sane-devel mailing list: [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sane-devel Unsubscribe: Send mail with subject "unsubscribe your_password" to [email protected]
