    Wireless Scanner Puzzle

    I've downloaded and installed the Linux drivers and cups-bjnp for my Canon Pixma Multifunction Printer.

    It prints wirelessly through CUPS and it scans wirelessly using the Canon ScanGearMP application.

    However all other scanning applications refuse to recognise the scanner e.g. sane/xsane, skanlite, Simple Scan.

    I tried attaching the scanner via USB (had to jump through a few hoops including installing the very latest sane-backend etc.) but it still won't work.

    sane-find-scanner reports I have a USB scanner
    scanimage -L reports I do NOT have a USB scanner

    If I run a debug of xsane from the command line I get the following output:

    Code:
    [sanei_debug] Setting debug level of pixma to 11.
    [pixma] pixma is compiled with pthread support.

    [pixma] scanner discovery finished...
    [pixma] pixma_find_scanners() found 0 devices
    So, if the first few lines of output are to be believed, xsane successfully finds, identifies and adds my network scanner but then fails to auto-detect anything and reports back 'no devices available'.

    Can anyone help?

    Thanks

    Have your correctly configured dll.conf and net.conf in /etc/sane.d? At the very least, dll.conf needs net and the correct model driver enabled and net.conf the IP address or hostname of the server - or scanner in your case.

      Yes, all done.

      I've contacted the SANE developers as I can't even use the device as a USB scanner. The first step is to get the sane driver working for USB scanning and then see if wireless scanning still doesn't work.

      I'll update this post as and when.
