I bought a Canon ImageCLASS MF4350d yesterday after learning that the manufacturer has a Linux driver for it. I didn't realize it was only a PRINTER driver, and that they ignored the scanner.
On my installation of Ubuntu 8.04: "xsane" returns "no devices available." "sane-find-scanner" returns: found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9 [Canon Inc.], product=0x26ee [MF4320-4350]) at libusb:005:004 "scanimage -L" returns: No scanners were identified. "scanimage --version" returns: scanimage (sane-backends) 1.0.19; backend version 1.0.19 A check of sane-backends-1.0.20 shows no support for my scanner. It appears that sane-backends-1.0.21cvs supports the MF4380dn and the MF4370dn, both of which share a manual with my MF4350d. Is it possible that the development version supports my scanner without "realizing" it? Is there something I can do to assist the developers in adding support for my scanner? I'm not a programmer, but I follow directions well.
