It works. I think the only kink was the order of a few things:<br>1. compile<br>2. copy<br>3. sudo ldconfig --> just in case<br>4. udev hacks + replug device<br>5. Try everything else (scanimage -L)<br><br>If 3 and 4 are interchanged, I get a "scanimage: sane_start: Invalid argument"<br><br>I added this to /etc/udev/rules.d/45-libsane.rules:<br># Canon PIXMA MP470<br>SYSFS{idVendor}=="04a9", SYSFS{idProduct}=="1723", MODE="664", GROUP="scanner"<br><br>Makes sense to push this change upstream.<br><br>One problem I notice is that the y-axis offset seems off when I select an area in the preview and then request a full scan of just that area. This is roughly off by 1cm - so if I
have a bounding box on "ubuntu" in the "standard printer test page", the top part of "b" is chopped, so it looks like an "o". This is reproducible but is not a show stopper!<br><br>Thanks!<br>-Ashwin<br><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">----- Original Message ----<br>From: Nicolas <nicolas.martin@freesurf.fr><br>To: Ashwin <cybernytrix@yahoo.com><br>Cc: sane-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org<br>Sent: Sunday, February 10, 2008 4:03:36 PM<br>Subject: Re: Canon MP470 support<br><br>

<font color="#000000">Being a recent Canon model, we could try to check whether it can be driven by Pixma modified driver for MP610, MP520, and MP210.</font><br>
