[sane-devel] Canon PIXMA MX350

[Guenther Hutzl]

Hello!

I have some good and some bad news! The scanner of my MX350 was once
working perfectly with the patch you provided. Thanks for all the great
work you are doing here! I really appreciate it. But now I cannot get it
to work any more and I don't know why.

Here is what I have done:

1. I have tested several different resolutions from 75dpi to 1200dpi and
it worked perfectly. Also the color/grayscale switch works as expected.
I used gimp together with the xsane dialog.
2. Then I tested the adf (automatic document feeder) to scan several
pages. I used skanlite for that. This also worked once.
3. After that I tried it again and I got the message:

Failed to open device 'pixma:MX350_192.167.1.88': Invalid argument.

I tried this with gimp and skanlite. When I start gimp via the
commandline I see this additional message after selecting my scanner in
the xsane device dialog and pressing OK:

[pixma] bjnp_open_tcp: Can not connect to scanner: Connection refused

I even rebooted my whole PC to rule out a hanging process that blocks
the scanner.

So how can that happen? I guess it is probably some config file that has
problems. I checked the scanner with a mac book and it works still fine,
so the scanner itself is not the problem. Just something with my linux
setup. I am using gentoo linux. I have hacked together a custom ebuild
of sane-backends that includes the mx350 patch. I have attached the two
files if anyone is interested. What can I do to analyze and rule oout
this problem? Is there some debug option somewhere? I did not see
anything in my system logs. I also tried scanimage from the commandline
and get the same error:

> scanimage  -d pixma:MX350_192.168.1.88 --format=pnm
[pixma] bjnp_open_tcp: Can not connect to scanner: Connection
refused                                                                                                                       

scanimage: open of device pixma:MX350_192.168.1.88 failed: Invalid
argument                                                                                                                 


Please help me, I think we are so close to having another supported
scanner in sane.

Günther.
