[sane-devel] Canon MP470 support
Hi Ashwin!
That's good news too then!
For sure, the libsane rule needed to be adjusted for PID 1723,
corresponding to MP470.
When the Sane driver will be updated with the changes for recent Pixma
MFPs, the libsane
rules will be produced automatically when compiling Sane, provided that
the .desc files are
correctly set up.
For the y-axis point, maybe I did not catch exactly the issue.
You must know that the driver rounds up the scan dimensions to 32
(needed by Pixma protocol),
so this will be more sensitive at low dpi than at high dpi values. But
the rounding should be rendered
by the Frontend anyway (Xsane does it)
Be sure to have the Y top left parameter to 0.000 in the Sane standard
options window, in order
to have the scan starting at the very top of the page.
Thanks for your feedback.
So as a summary, we have now those additional Pixma MFPs working, to be
added to the Sane files, and
that seems to present optimal or satisfactory results:
MP610
MP520
MP470
MP210
MP710
MP740
Would be nice to have feedback for MP140 too, if anyone has got one, as
it looks that this competitor has great
chance to be working with this driver too ;-)

Hi Nicholas,
Good news! It works. I think the only kink was the order of a few
things:
1. compile
2. copy
3. sudo ldconfig -- just in case
4. udev hacks + replug device
5. Try everything else (scanimage -L)
If 3 and 4 are interchanged, I get a scanimage: sane_start: Invalid
argument
I added this to /etc/udev/rules.d/45-libsane.rules:
# Canon PIXMA MP470
SYSFS{idVendor}==04a9, SYSFS{idProduct}==1723, MODE=664,
GROUP=scanner
Makes sense to push this change upstream.
One problem I notice is that the y-axis offset seems off when I select
an area in the preview and then request a full scan of just that area.
This is roughly off by 1cm - so if I have a bounding box on ubuntu
in the standard printer test page, the top part of b is chopped,
so it looks like an o. This is reproducible but is not a show
stopper!
Thanks!

A test driver for MP470 is ready, you can download it at the following
link:

Use instructions given on this blog to install and test it:

here is the code:
Bus 005 Device 002: ID 04a9:1723 Canon, Inc.
let me know when the driver is ready. will be better if you can put
out a patch, so i can do it via apt-get source.
thanks!

Being a recent Canon model, we could try to check whether it can be
driven by Pixma modified driver for MP610, MP520, and MP210.
Can you provide the USB PID of this all-in one ?
You can get it by a simple:
$ lsusb
I can declare this scanner in the driver, issue the modified version
of the driver, and you could give a try to check it.
Instructions on how to install the modified Pixma driver above Sane
1.0.18 are given on this blog:
http://mp610.blogspot.com/2007/11/new-sane-scanner-driver-for-canon-mp610.html
This is for Allan:
Concerning new Sane version and Pixma driver:
I've ready sitting on my desktop, the patch to add MP610, MP520 and
MP210 scanners to patch the pixma files, in the current Sane CVS
version.
At the moment, compiled and tested successfully with an MP610, on
Gutsy and on Mandriva 2007.

Hello,
I just bought a Canon Pixma MP470 printer+scanner device and I
cannot get it to work with sane. The printer part seems to work
with the MP150 driver.
I can pitch in with some usb scan info, if some one tells me where
to find the docs.
