Help with Canon2700F

I played a little bit with my configuration files. In my
/usr/etc/sane.d/dll.conf there is a line
"#canon" which I left as it
is. In /usr/etc/sane.d/canon.conf I tried several
combinations. The
scanner is recognized as canon:/dev/sg0 if canon.conf
contains the line
"/dev/sg0" or "scsi".
"dev/scanner" works only if I create a symlink
sg0 --> scanner (understandably).

The canon.conf of the contribution contains:
#canon.conf
/dev/scanner
#/dev/sg0

I suggest changing that to

#canon.conf
scsi

Regards,

Ulrich Deiters

Very many thanks for the testing!


What I have as default canon.conf in our newest sane package
results the same but it is a bit more verbose and
/dev/scanner
is no longer mentioned because it is outdated.
------------------------------------------------------------
---------
# canon.conf
#
# Activate exactly one of the following choices:
#
# Probe on all /dev/sg* devices:
scsi
#
# Probe for "CANON" on all /dev/sg* devices:
#scsi CANON
#
# Probe only on one fixed device:
#/dev/sg0
------------------------------------------------------------
---------

I suggest to have this one as default in the next SANE
version
or perhaps "scsi CANON" to be a bit more safe
but only if all
scanners which are supported by the canon backend use
exactly
this manufacturer name (as I don't know this I used only
"scsi").
