I guess that means there's no support for it in SANE, and I'll have to use USB, possibly for a very long time.<br>
Ok then, than you very much for the help.<br></blockquote><div><br>Adrian,<br>Analyzing the trace for this device show that the protocol used here is completely unknown to us for the moment. Supporting this new protocol, without any kind of documentation, would mean 1) an analysis and understanding of the messages exchanged and protocol logics, and 2) development for adding support to the backend.<br>
Experience feedback in such case, reveals that is necessary for devs to have access to a real device, in order to run tests, and design the software for it. <br>This is unfortunately no more a simple extension or adaptation of the existing software, as it is usually the case for all devices we have added to the pixma backend, but a deeper design of a new solution.<br>
This is bad luck that Canon choosed this implementation for this device, and that it does not give access to documentation for supporting it.<br><br>Nicolas<br></div></div>
