Hi Matthias, I don't use DF on the desktop but I just checked /etc/sane.d on my OpenBSD 5.7 with the following version of sane-backend predrag@oko$ pkg_info sane-backends Information for inst:sane-backends-1.0.24p2 Quick greping reveals that the specific product is missing. predrag@oko$ grep 0x04a9 * canon630u.conf:usb 0x04a9 0x2204 canon_dr.conf:usb 0x04a9 0x1601 canon_dr.conf:usb 0x04a9 0x1602 canon_dr.conf:usb 0x04a9 0x1603 canon_dr.conf:usb 0x04a9 0x1604 canon_dr.conf:usb 0x04a9 0x1606 canon_dr.conf:usb 0x04a9 0x1607 canon_dr.conf:usb 0x04a9 0x1608 canon_dr.conf:usb 0x04a9 0x1609 canon_dr.conf:usb 0x04a9 0x160a canon_dr.conf:usb 0x04a9 0x160b canon_dr.conf:usb 0x04a9 0x2222 genesys.conf:usb 0x04a9 0x2213 genesys.conf:usb 0x04a9 0x221c genesys.conf:usb 0x04a9 0x2228 genesys.conf:usb 0x04a9 0x1904 genesys.conf:usb 0x04a9 0x1909 genesys.conf:usb 0x04a9 0x1905 genesys.conf:usb 0x04a9 0x1906 genesys.conf:usb 0x04a9 0x1907 genesys.conf:usb 0x04a9 0x190a genesys.conf:usb 0x04a9 0x1906 If I was you I would try editing canon630u.conf which is on your machine probably located in /usr/local/etc/sane.d/ usb 0x04a9 0x2206 After you add it reboot the machine and give it a try. If that doesn't work try editing canon_dr.conf with the same line and reboot. I checked sane-backends page and your scanner indeed appears to be supported http://www.sane-project.org/sane-backends.html#S-CANON-DR IIRC that is one of those cheap scanners without power supply just using USB to power up. Those are really iffy on any system. For the record I have been using Epson Perfection 1670 which requires firmware for the past 8 years on OpenBSD and I couldn't be happier. Best, Predrag
