Yesterday I bought a Canon Lide 25 scanner. I had first checked the Sane supported devices database and saw that the support was "good" using the plustek backend.
I have connected the scanner to my laptop and everything seems to be okay.
The output of
(run as a normal user) is
Code:
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9 [Canon], product=0x2220 [CanoScan], chip=LM9832/3) at libusb:001:003
When I run
I hear the scanner working and I get the following output
Code:
scanimage: scanning image of size 202x150 pixels at 24 bits/pixel
scanimage: acquiring RGB frame, 8 bits/sample
scanimage: reading one scanline, 606 bytes... PASS

Then when I run Xsane (or Kooka) for that matter everything still looks fine. The device is found, the correct backend is used. But when I try to do a preview or an actual scan nothing happens: the scanner stays silent!
Xsane/Kooka apparently seem to think they are doing fine as they show a completely black preview and ask me if I want to save that.
I rune sane version 1.0.18 on a standard Ubuntu Feisty installation with a 2.6.20-16-generic kernel and Gnome 2.18.1.
I hope anybody can help me solve my problem! Thanks in advance!
