[sane-devel] Canon imageCLASS MF4370dn

[Adrian Sandor]

Well, you didn't say how. Fortunately I found some instructions at http://mp610.blogspot.com/2008/04/give-your-scanner-new-freshly-sane.html
So I installed the latest git version, and.. I confirm that I am able to scan via USB!
Specifically, scanimage -L detects the device, then in order to scan, first I have to press the "scan" button twice on the device to 1) put it in scanning mode and 2) select usb scanning, then I am able to scan e.g. from gimp via xsane.
If I don't press the "scan" button like that, I just get an error message "Error during read: Device busy."
There's also a "Button-controlled scan" option that requires me to press a button both in the software and on the device to start scanning; it works but I don't find it very useful.
However, I can't find any way to access the scanner over the network. That's ok for now because I am the main user and the device is right near my computer, but in the future it would be nice to have the option.

Thanks
Adrian

Commit is already done for MF4370/MF4380 (both have same pid) so you can
give a try with the latest git. 
Try first with usb to check if the scanner works, then with network, and
let us know.
