Hi Martin, It's my fault. I missed to add Ethernet and WiFi interfaces on the supportd devices site.
Please read the manpage for details 'man sane-pixma' howto connect via network. If you have problems, first try an USB connection with disabled network to exclude problems from the backend. Please ask the mailing list again, if you have problems connecting via network. Cheers, Rolf Am 08.02.2015 um 06:22 schrieb Martin Nieuwstadt: > Hi Rolf, > > Thanks for the info.
