Looking at <http://www.buzzard.org.uk/jonathan/scanners-usb.html>; it appears that Sane itself does not support your scanner. What you see from dmesg is the fact that the kernel itself recognizes that the USB device is a scanner. However, you'll need Sane to actually use the device. Apparently, "Canon appears to be unwilling to release the necessary documentation to enable a Linux driver and SANE backend to be written." Looking at <http://linux.ing.uniroma1.it/pipermail/lugroma/2001-May/005746.html>; confirms this. Hence, I'd take a stab at editing /usr/local/etc/sane.d/canon.conf, and if that doesn't work, I imagine you're outta luck :( Sorry, -jj -- The set-uid bit is patented by Dennis Ritchie.
