Yours is not in the list :-( Then go to http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html#Z-CANON and you see it is not listed there either, so it looks like you are out of luck. As for the printers MandrakeControlCentreHardwarePrinters select 'Add' uncheck the 'printer auto detect' box and pick an interface. You will then see a list of supported printers If your printer is not listed try a driver for a similar model.

Check the SANE pages for Canon scanners' back ends. Or, go into MCC and 'hardware' on your computer, select 'scanner' 'add scanner manually', and see if the model is listed there as supported or unsupported, then just cancel when you've the information. You can do something similar for printers (uncheck the 'auto-detect' box) Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I once saw that someone had managed it, but doing what he recommended just crashed my computer.
