I've been trying to get the Canon Pixma G2000 to work with Ubuntu 16.04. I tried:
sane-find-scanner # sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the # result is different from what you expected, first make sure your # scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer. # No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that # you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter. could not fetch string descriptor: Pipe error could not fetch string descriptor: Pipe error found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9 [Canon], product=0x1795 [G2000 series]) at libusb:001:010 could not fetch string descriptor: Pipe error could not fetch string descriptor: Pipe error # Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage. # Not checking for parallel port scanners. # Most Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports # can't be detected by this program. On trying scanimage -L: No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different, check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages). root@hp:/etc/sane.d# gedit /usr/local/etc/sane.d/dll.conf systemctl status saned.socket: ● saned.socket - saned incoming socket Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/saned.socket; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (listening) since Mon 2017-08-07 21:16:38 IST; 28min ago Listen: [::]:6566 (Stream) Accepted: 0; Connected: 0 Aug 07 21:16:38 hp systemd[1]: Listening on saned incoming socket.

Could anyone tell me if it's possible to tweak up support for this printer? I can provide logs for anything needed. It's a simple flatbed usb scanner on a multifunction printer. -Droidzone
