Hi , Because of the upcoming release, I decided to re-test Rolf’s previous work on the MF8200C (mine is a MF8230), and it (still) looks like its working fine.
Details are below. What else should I do? BJNP scanning is normally harder than USB (?), so I decided to skip this, but could be convinced to change my mind, if needed? I desired, I can make a USB live stick and run it on my work-labtop which has USB2 + USB3 ports. Please specify if any special distro + usb-stack or whatever is desired for testing. Otherwise it will probably be newest Ubuntu or Mint /Troels ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Details: I removed all traces of sane/libsane on computer, and took Rolf’s PPA, and installed using Synaptic (apt-get preferred the Ubuntu version ...) Version was: libsane_1.0.25-git20150822-trusty0_i386 Tested: Using xsane + bjnp: Flatbed: 75 + 150 + 600 dpi works fine Scanning again and again: works fine ADF: 300 dpi works fine Scanning again and again: works fine scanimage -L -scanner is found correctly sane-find-scanner - does not find scanner. I think the list is full of trouble-shooting steps for this.... One minor hickup though: I experienced a paper-jam with the ADF (my own fault, really). After that I found no other method than to 'killall xsane' - no problem - but the scanner was in 'bad-mode'. Going to local-mode , then 'remote-scanner' did not help. Reboot of computer did not either. Reboot of scanner did the trick. I'm sorry I did not get record the error-message in the terminal (printf from pixma driver?). It was something like "illegal reply length". I'm very happy with the performance even if this corner-case exist. /Troels
