I have a Canon MP250 device. The manpage of the pixma backend states that
this device is supported, but when trying to use scanimage, there's no
scanner detected.

Test case:

Plug the scanner, and check lsusb and /var/log/messages:

Run sane-find-scanner:

# sane-find-scanner
...
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9 [Canon], product=0x173a [MP250 series]) at
libusb:001:007


Scanimage doesn't get it:

# scanimage -L

No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).

# scanimage -L
PIXMA_EXPERIMENT=0; SANE_DEBUG_PIXMA=21 scanimage -L

No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).

I'm using Fedora 15, with latest source from git repo:

scanimage -V
scanimage (sane-backends) 1.0.23git; backend version 1.0.23 (commit id:
cbc281c30a3d7bfcc02750cf782a4c8e6efac07c)

I want to help to get this fixed. Any hints?
