[sane-devel] Canon pixma mp280, not sane supported.

[Rolf Bensch]

Hi Erik,

I guess that you don't have the user rights to access your scanner.

Please try 'sudo scanimage -L'. If this is working, you need to copy
'tools/udev/libsane.rules' from your sane's project folder to
'/etc/udev/rules.d/' and join the group 'scanner'. Ubuntu uses udev to
recognise the attached devices, please ignore the stuff around
'/dev/scanner'.

If this won't work, please reinstall sane from source as described in
'README.linux' after "Installation". You can ignore the stuff above
"Installation".

Normally sane installation from source doesn't affect system's sane
installation and vice versa, instead of some symbolic links, for your 32
bits ubuntu in '/usr/lib/'.

If any package installation or update might overwrite the symbolic
links, you only need to create new ones as described in README.linux.

Cheers,
Rolf
