I noticed the yesterday built 4.5-stable reconized my CanoScan usb
scanner, it shew up as uscanner0 from `dmesg`. But sane-find-scanner
doesn't now the type of my scanner still. I cheched the
/sys/dev/usb/uscanner.c and only found 656U, has anyone get it worked
for 650U?
Looking at http://www.buzzard.org.uk/jonathan/scanners-usb.html it appears
that Sane itself does not support your scanner.
What you see from dmesg is the fact that the kernel itself recognizes that the
USB device is a scanner. However, you'll need Sane to actually use the device.
Apparently, Canon appears to be unwilling to release the necessary
documentation to enable a Linux driver and SANE backend to be written.
Looking at
http://linux.ing.uniroma1.it/pipermail/lugroma/2001-May/005746.html confirms
this. Hence, I'd take a stab at editing /usr/local/etc/sane.d/canon.conf, and
if that doesn't work, I imagine you're outta luck :(
Sorry,
