The canon machines with the autostart switch have two different usb ids. I know neither of those for the P-150 or P-150M, so neither of them would be in the config file. This makes me wonder if something is wrong with your chronology- I don't think scanimage -L could have found the scanner before you changed to config file. If you can get back to that state, where the scanner was trying to work, we can do some debugging:
SANE_DEBUG_CANON_DR=35 scanimage > foo.pnm 2>p150.log then send me p150.log directly. You may need to compress it. allan On Sat, Aug 13, 2016 at 3:20 PM, Ben J <btpprogr...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, I've got a P-150M and am trying to get it running at the moment.
