Re: [libreoffice-users] LO not finding my scanner

[Tim Lungstrom]

Sorry, but it will not work.

The original will not "see" the printer at all.  When I had more than 
one Canon printer, I had both installed - 1 for 6220 and 1 for 9020.  
Each scanner driver/package that is installed are geared to a specific 
model.

So, it could be the Scanner drivers for Ubuntu.  The "scangearmp2" 
package does not have all of the options as the "version 1" did. To 
bad.  Now I have to do all of the cropping, etc., via GIMP instead at 
the scanning level.

I see 6.0.1.x is online for download.  I will install it within a

2 of my 3 laptops have both Windows 10 and Ubuntu Mate 16.04

the second oldest laptop is my default one and is the only one 
running 6.0.x.x.


I will look into the uses of the scanning options with one of those 
other laptops to see if it scanning works.

Canon's Linux driver for scanning does not work with xsane. They call
their interface "scangearmp2".  This has hardly and options compared
to "scangearmp" which was use for the previous printer/scanners I 
have

had [all dead now].

Yes, I have 64-bit Ubuntu Mate, LibreOffice, and Canon drivers.




On a side note:

This is the first Canon printer that I bought that has Linux drivers
in their USA web site.  I always had to go to the UK site to get the
drivers. At least Canon is starting to get the picture that a lot of
people in the USA are Linux users.

Hi Jorge,

What you propose may work for a Linux installation, but does not explain
why I am seeing the same issue on Windows machines.

Re: [libreoffice-users] LO not finding my scanner

[Dave Barton]

This appears not to be a Linux specific issue. I can't speak for macOS
users, but it is definitely a problem with LO 6.0.1.1 on all of my WIN 7
and Linux boxes, where I have zero scanning issues using LO 5.4 or other
office software.

Has anyone entered a bug report yet?

Canon's Linux driver for scanning does not work with xsane.  They
call their interface "scangearmp2".  This has hardly and options
compared to "scangearmp" which was use for the previous
printer/scanners I have had [all dead now].

scangearmp is a command-line program, not an interface. LibreOffice
uses the SANE backends, just as xsane does, just as pretty much every
other scanning program does. Do you have the sane package installed?

Your scanner is listed as using the sane-pixma driver, but is marked as
untested. See http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html#Z-CANON

Generally, buying a scanner or other hardware device for use with linux
is unwise unless it has been tested and reported as compatible. This is
especially true with linux-hostile manufacturers like Canon.


Interesting.  IF scangearmp2 needs SANE, then why can it work without 
SANE being installed?


I just checked for it. It was not installed.  I installed SANE and it 
scangearmp2 did not work any different.  Still, LO "media scan" option 
does not work either.


Actually, I have scangearmp2 as a launcher on my desktop. Since it shows 
a GUI window when called, it is not fully command line with all of the 
options as parts of the command.  I wish the "2" version had all the 
options that the original one had.  At least it saves JPG instead of 
just PNG.



"use with Linux" is something I do search for.
I do so by looking for printers that have Linux drivers coming from the 
manufacturer, and not a third party.  For Canon, all 4 of the printers 
had drivers for DEB based Linux. Usually, I have to go to the Canon UK 
site for the drivers.  This last one, TS9020, was the first one that had 
Linux drivers in the USA site. I found out how much the problem was when 
I had an Epson Workflow[?] printer.  I could print OK, except for 
duplexing.  It would not scan at all till I installed Ubuntu 12.04.  I 
started out with 9.10 on that desktop.


The only printer brand that I get the drivers from a "3rd party" is HP. 
They are the easiest to get the drivers, etc.. It seems that their Open 
Source driver system will "make" a driver for the specific OS and model 
you have.


The first 3 Canon PIXMA models I had used used scangearmp.  This new one 
required "scangearmp2" the newer version -  Scan Gear MP 3.40. The old 
and new one are not compatible, backwards or forward.


So, "linux-hostile" is not as true as people think.  Sure, till now, 
Canon's support system tells you that they do not support Linux. This 
was for the USA support system.  If you went to the UK support site, you 
can find the Linux drivers there.  Sure, when I bought a Pixma MG6220, I 
had to get the MG6240 driver - since it was called MG6200 driver. So I 
could buy the Canon printer and get the drivers for Linux.


Also, I make sure I can get third party ink.  I cannot afford the Canon 
OEM pricing.  When I had the MG6220, I could get 6+ full sets of ink for 
the same price I would get for 1 OEM set.  This new TS9220 set costs 
more, but the printer has not been out as long as the others.  It is 
getting lower in costs though. I can use a lot of ink each month, if I 
am doing a lot of "work".  So, ink costs are very important for someone 
on a fixed [mostly] income.






Yes, I have 64-bit Ubuntu Mate, LibreOffice, and Canon drivers.




On a side note:

This is the first Canon printer that I bought that has Linux drivers
in their USA web site.  I always had to go to the UK site to get the
drivers. At least Canon is starting to get the picture that a lot of
people in the USA are Linux users.

Re: [libreoffice-users] LO not finding my scanner

[Philip Jackson]

On my (getting old now) 5.1.6.2 under UbuntuStudio, LO Writer works fine.

But Calc displays Insert > Media but the next 2 offers [Select Source
and Request] are greyed out and not available. Maybe not intended to
work with Scan ?
