[sane-devel] Canon PIXMA MX725: ADF scan duplex and automatic recognition of number of pages

Hi Rolf,

thanks for your answer.

I am using scanimage on my raspberry pi without any GUI.
Now I tried scanning via my ubuntu desktop system, but the document is 
just stopping in the ADF and the MX725 wants that I press OK to get the 
document back. I already tried to reinstall sane and the pixma backend 
(sane via apt-get remove and the pixma backend by checking out via git 
and compiling again). Same result.

Is there maybe a way to debug my problem via console on the raspberry 
pi, since the scanning there is working, just no ADF Duplex and batch 
without providing the number of pages?

Best regards
Timo
