[sane-devel] [Scanbd] Set up for Canon PIXMA multifunction scanner - no button response

Hi Matt,

Sorry for the late response.

The command line must run without
'SANE_CONFIG_DIR=/usr/local/etc/scanbd/sane.d'. Maybe you don't have the
user rights to access your scanner via USB. Please try following:
(1) push any button
(2) sudo su -c "SANE_DEBUG_PIXMA=11 scanimage -A"

Please send me the complete log response.

Cheers,
Rolf
