Thanks to you I've been able to get my MP990 running on my LAN wireless.<br /> I do still have a problem that I'm not sure how to solve: Everything seems to work well when using "Flatbed" scanning. However, when I scan in "Transparency Unit" Two problems arise. Any resolution over 300 DPI either produces a white (or black) blank scan. Any resolution over 1200 grinds the scanning head against the chasis. I'd love to fix this myself but I'm running out of ideas. Any suggestions would be much appreciated! And thanks a million again! Without your help, I'd still have a 30 pound paper weight sitting on my desk :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15632382525534316736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4427895091445486464.post-9744885013976073262010-09-11T00:59:27.727+02:002010-09-11T00:59:27.727+02:00Hi.

You don't say here which distribution/version you're running, but it's very likely that a udev rule is missing for USB scanners. <br />One way to figure if it's a perms problem is to try the same scanimage command as root.Nicolashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09884591571534262105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4427895091445486464.post-27939381130914774922010-09-05T00:34:37.972+02:002010-09-05T00:34:37.972+02:00Sorry to post as anonymous .. but hopefully Nicola...Sorry to post as anonymous .. but hopefully Nicolas can still respond. A few others have bumped into this problem, and it does not seem like anyone suggested a resolution ... I've installed backend version 1.0.20 which supports Canon imageCLASS D480 (man sane-pixma has D480 listed among fully supported devices for both USB and network connection).<br />sane-find-scanner finds the scanner: "found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9, product=0x26ed) at libusb:001:007"<br /><br />BUT<br /><br />scanimage -L does NOT: "No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,<br />check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the<br />sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation<br />which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages)."<br />Obviously, no other program sees a scanner either.<br /><br />I realize the mechanism of failure could be different in all of the cases that reported this symptom. What can I do to diagnose this further and, hopefully, fix the problem? <br /><br />One thing that I find somewhat suspicious, is that Canon D480 is not mentioned in /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules. Should I manually add it there?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4427895091445486464.post-83196920334566211962010-08-27T23:26:56.403+02:002010-08-27T23:26:56.403+02:00Grazie mille
