Hi there,

I'd like to add support for the CanoScan Lide 70 scanner to the genesys
backend, if possible.


Output from lsusb:

Bus 003 Device 004: ID 04a9:2225 Canon, Inc. CanoScan LiDE 70

I extended /etc/sane.d/genesys.conf  to contain:

# Canon LiDE 70
usb 0x04a9 0x2225

and /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules to contain:

# Canon CanoScan LiDE 70
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04a9", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2225", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"


Output from sane-find-scanner:
...
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9 [Canon], product=0x2225 [CanoScan]) at
libusb:003:004
...


scanimage -L -v

delivers only an error message.


What can I do to get the scanner supported by one of the backends?

Thanks,
Andreas

PS: I wouldn't mind compiling the genesys backend in debug mode and see what
chipset there is or what error messages appear, but maybe someone has a
quicker solution...



    Hello,

the scanner search engine http://www.sane-project.org/cgi-bin/driver.pl is the first thing to try.

Its data is based on the sane-backends/doc/desc files where you can find in unsupported.desc :

:model "CanoScan LiDE 70"
:url "http://www.juergen-ernst.de/info_sane.html";
:interface "USB"
:usbid "0x04a9" "0x2225"
:status :unsupported
:comment "Philips chip. Backend started, see link"


Regards,
    Stef
