Description: Parallel port scanner. 600 dpi. Current drivers that ship with Slack 9.1 support it great, previous versions had to be tweaked to make it work. Used with Sane, works excellent (although a bit slow).

Chipset: N/A

just a hint...
in slackware, open up /usr/local/etc/sane.d/dll.conf
and uncomment (remove the #) the line with canon_pp

took me a while to figure this out.

As indicated, uncomment the line in the dll file, otherwise works perfectly. Not fancy, but it gets the job done, old reliable.

It seems that Canon hasn't released the specifications of this scanner yet, so there are a pair of issues with the available one, see http://www.fifi.org/doc/libsane/supported.html#CANON . I also propose to take a look at the "Helping" section of http://canon-fb330p.sourceforge.net/ .

Anyway this model does its job under Linux: it is capable of scanning documents (I'm using the parallel port version).

As said in other reviews of this product, the file "dll.conf" has to be modified to enable autodetection. In Debian, it can be found in "/etc/sane.d/dll.conf". Search for the line containing "canon_pp" and uncomment it.
