Hi,<br>
<br>
I have been unable to get my Canon 700f to work with Ubuntu 12.04.
I've tried all the tricks and tips I could find with no success. As
far as I can tell I'm running all the latest and greatest. I found
where Matus Sabo requested assistance and I'll include your exchange
below. His description is exactly what I'm seeing. Xsane fails
with "Invalid Argument" as well as scanimage -T. sane-find-scanner
finds the scanner as well as scanimage -L. The device is in the
rules file and I can see it as root or user. I just cant scan.
When I get the "invalid argument" the device number is deleted and
shows up again with the next sequential number. System log only
shows that a new device was found. I'd really like to get this
working as I love Gimp but the Windows version crashes regularly but
the Ubuntu version can't use the scanner. Help!!<br>

</i> Hello,
something didn't work like you expected. There is no 'WARNING' in
current git source tree. You can check it by setting debug before
running the same commands with:
export SANE_DEBUG_GENESYS=255
The debug messages should report a '1.0 build 2302' version if latest
version is ran.
Since SANE 1.0.23 is about to be released, I think PPA for this release
will be available soon. It may be a matter of a week or two.
Meanwhile, you could check the libsane-genesys.so.1.0.23 library is
present in /usr/lib/sane or in /usr/lib64/sane (on 64bits systems). Also
check that you don't have both subdirectories.
Regards,
Stef
