Hi Predrac,
thanks for your extensive explanation.
My problem was that I did not install SANE because I thought the device
driver needs to be existent in the kernel.
After installing SANE the scanner is functional and I can use xsane for
image scans.
Regards
Matthias

Hi,
has scanner support been dropped in the past?
My scanner is not recognized, the kernel message is:
May 17 14:26:55 MisterX kernel: ugen3.2: <Canon> at usbus3
May 17 14:26:55 MisterX root: Unknown USB device: vendor 0x04a9 product
0x2206 bus uhub3
I have a Canon N 650U scanner and want to be able to scan using my
DragonFly installation.
What are my options to get it running?
Regards

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.

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
