The problem is with Sane, not with Simple-Scan. This scanner isn't supported by default in Sane. Simple-Scan is only a front-end.
According to the page http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html , Canon Pixma MX360 is supported on Pixma 0.17.4 backend. Currently I'm not an Ubuntu user, but You can try to manually install sane-pixma package with a package manager like Synaptic. The bug is: Ubuntu must automatically install this backend and another sane backends for the right support of scanners. I renamed it. ** Summary changed: - Canon Pixma MX360 isn't recognized + Ubuntu must automatically install more sane backends for the right support of scanners(Canon Pixma MX360 isn't recognized) ** Summary changed: - Ubuntu must automatically install more sane backends for the right support of scanners(Canon Pixma MX360 isn't recognized) + Ubuntu must automatically install more sane backends for the right support of scanners (Canon Pixma MX360 isn't recognized) ** Changed in: simple-scan (Ubuntu) Status: Expired => Incomplete ** Changed in: simple-scan (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => New ** Package changed: simple-scan (Ubuntu) => sane-frontends (Ubuntu) ** Summary changed: - Ubuntu must automatically install more sane backends for the right support of scanners (Canon Pixma MX360 isn't recognized) + Ubuntu must automatically install more sane backends for the right support of scanners (Canon Pixma MX360 and others aren't isn't recognized) ** Summary changed: - Ubuntu must automatically install more sane backends for the right support of scanners (Canon Pixma MX360 and others aren't isn't recognized) + Ubuntu must automatically install more sane backends for the right support of scanners (Canon Pixma MX360 and others aren't recognized) ** Package changed: sane-frontends (Ubuntu) => sane-backends-extras (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1013224 Title: Ubuntu must automatically install more sane backends for the right support of scanners (Canon Pixma MX360 and others aren't recognized) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sane-backends-extras/+bug/1013224/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
