[sane-devel] Canon imageClass MFP's

[Dennis Lou]

Hi,

I recently acquired a Canon imageClass MF4270 and am interested in contributing a sane backend for it.  This is my progress so far:

+Examined Windows driver package.  Found references to:
    --Canon MF5650
    --Canon MF5630
    --Canon MF3110
    --Canon MF8100
    --Canon MF5730
    --Canon MF5750
    --Canon MF5770
    --Canon MF6500 Series
    --Canon MF3200 Series
    --Canon MF4100 Series
    --Canon MF4600 Series
    --Canon MF4010 Series
    --Canon MF4200 Series

+Ran sane-find-scanner -v -v
+Ran cat /proc/bus/usb/devices
+Created various logs using USB snooper in Windows
+Isolated sections of log pertaining to connect, init, scan and de-init
+Generated C code from logs and replayed USB commands in Linux
+Reversed engineered some commands and responses
+Modified C code to generate PNM/BMP files; performed scans from code



Attached are output from sane-find-scanner and /proc/bus/usb/devices

Looking at the logs, it seems very similar to the pixma MP series.

Is anybody else working on this series?

-Dennis
