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

Hi again, after the last test I reinstalled sane without the scanbd
bits, want to see if I can get this working without it.  The output
from the command above is at http://pastebin.com/1h6gDTQV

It looks from that as though sane is picking up both the network
connection to the scanner/printer and the USB connection.  Not sure if
that helps diagnose?  If I run the same command without sudo access it
doesn't pick up the USB version.

Cheers
Matt
