[sane-devel] Canon Pixma MP230

[Marc Marí]

It works!!

I just compiled and installed, and it seems to work, but only on root mode:
sudo xsane -> works, detects and seems to scan properly
xsane -> [pixma] pixma_open(): Canon PIXMA MP230
              [pixma] pixma_connect() failed EACCES
              [pixma] pixma_open() failed EACCES
              [pixma] pixma_close(): Canon PIXMA MP230

Do you have any idea of misconfiguration of my part, or I only found a half
solution?
