I just dug up my old scanner (CanoScan LiDE 60) and plugged it in, after which XSane detected it immediately on startup without any additional driver being installed. Have you tried XSane? Also:
Chris, Yes, I've always used Xsane. It tells me it cannot find any device.
chris@d7:~$ scanimage -L device `genesys:libusb:001:004' is a Canon LiDE 60 flatbed scanner device `epson2:net:192.168.20.20' is a Epson PID 08C4 flatbed scanner device `epson2:libusb:002:003' is a Epson PID 08C4 flatbed scanner Just to reiterate - that result is without any Canon-specific driver added by me.
Interesting because here scanimage -L cannot find the scanner. The LiDE 400 has no on/off switch. When it's connected to a USB 3.x port it turns itself on and, $ 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). To add to my confusion, as a user scanimage -L produces the above result. Same result when run as root. Yesterday, sane-find-scanner worked for me as a user, today it tells me I don't have permissions for any USB interfaces. When run as root it finds the scanner: # sane-find-scanner found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9 [Canon], product=0x1912 [LiDE 400]) at libusb:001:034 I'll download a Canon .rpm driver and try that later this morning.
