Please Help Me to Install My Canon Scanner
I just started to work with Ubuntu 7.04. Everything is Just Better, but I have reboot the PC and switch to Windows to when I want to scan a document
My Scanner is Canon Canoscan N340P and it was not detected when I install Ubuntu. Still I just know how to use Ubuntu without any admin tasks, so can you please guide me to intall my Scanner ? :rolleyes: Thanks ! Iresh. |
SANE is going to be your friend here. I googled you scanner model number and sane, and got these links:
http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html#Z-CANON It seems they have good support for your scanner, and the driver is available from here: http://canon-fb330p.sourceforge.net/ There's a howto for a Canon scanner on the Ubuntu forums here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...CanoScan+N640P It's not for the same scanner as yours, but maybe the process outlined will work with yours too? |

Hi pwc101, Thanks for quick reply, I downloaded the scan-6.0-2.tar.gz driver, now it is on the Desktop.... But I have no any idea about installing Hardware in Lnux (Ubuntu 7.04), so can you please tell me the steps clearly which I have to follow ? Thanks Again ! Iresh. |
Ok, so you've got SANE already installed - maybe using
Code:
apt-get install sane Code:
mkdir scan_driver && cd scan_driver |
After reading a bit more on their page, it seems that it should be part of SANE - which I would think Ubuntu installs by default. Before trying to learn how to install that driver, I would first seen if there's a scanning package installed already that recognises the scanner? Which programs have you tried to use? How do you know it's not working in Ubuntu?
It might be worth you having a look at this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/printing/C/scanning.html If your scanner is a parallel port scanner, it may be slightly more problematic than if it were USB, but that page seems to have some fairly good instructions. Let us know how you get on! |
Code:
sudo apt-get install xsane |
