Hi Rajib, First please check the used Sane version on the command line (in a terminal window): $ scanimage -V scanimage (sane-backends) 1.0.26git; backend version 1.0.26
The shown versions must be minimum 1.0.25. Otherwise you must install Sane from git as described in README.linux: http://www.sane-project.org/docs.html , chapter "Step by step install on Linux 2.6.* and 3.*". If you have a suitable Sane version, you can start scanning via the USB interface with a frontend of your choice: scanimage, xsane, ... Please disable all Ethernet and WiFi connections to your printer/scanner device!!! To get some debug information, please enable this on the command line with: $ export SANE_DEBUG_PIXMA=4 You may read the man page ($ man sane-pixma) for details. Please also start a gui frontend from the command line (the same terminal window), e.g. xsane: $ xsane Then you'll see the debug output in the terminal window beside the xsane windows. Your scanner should scan pages up to 600dpi out of the box. What's about scanning @ 1200dpi? You may see your image double beside each other. Please report your results. Many thanks for your help.
