[sane-devel] Testers needed? Pixma MX925

[tsp at posteo.de]

Hi Rolf,

I should read the Readme text more carefully in the linux environment... 
:)
It was the missing libusb-dev! An easy case for you.
I also followed the installation order on a 2nd computer and it worked 
immediately.

Thanks again for your support!
Thomas
