<div>Hi,<br>
<br>
</div>
I'm not really sure how to do this, but the <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html">http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html</a>
page said "Testers needed", so here is what I did to get my
Canon MG6250 scanner going.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>This is on xubuntu 12.10 64-bit with all current updates
as at 13th Apr 2013. Here is my xsane version info:<br>
<br>
<font><span style="font-family:courier new,monospace">$
xsane --version<br>
xsane-0.998 (c) 1998-2010 Oliver Rauch<br>
E-mail: <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="mailto:Oliver.Rauch@xsane.org">Oliver.Rauch@xsane.org</a><br>
package xsane-0.996<br>
compiled with GTK-2.24.12<br>
with color management function<br>
with GIMP support, compiled with GIMP-2.8.0<br>
XSane output formats: jpeg, pdf(compr.), png, pnm,
ps(compr.), tiff, txt<br>
</span></font><br>
</div>
After installing xsane, initially it wouldn't detect the
MG6250 (which was on the network via wireless connection). It
would look for devices and then the process would end.<br>
<br>
</div>
After reading the man docs and finding the "backend name" for my
printer is "pixma", I did:<br>
<div>
<ul>
<li><font><span style="font-family:courier new,monospace">man
sane-pixma</span> (seems to be a man entry for each
backend) tells you to that network scanners should
normally be detected, but if not, add them directly to <span
style="font-family:courier new,monospace">/etc/sane.d/pixma.conf</span></font></li>
<li><font>Edited <span style="font-family:courier
new,monospace">/etc/sane.d/pixma.conf</span> and
added: </font>
<pre><span style="font-family:courier new,monospace"><font>bjnp://<ip_address></font></span></pre>
</li>
<li><font>The sane daemon wasn't running, so I started it
manually (a friend of mine running Arch said it was for
him...): </font>
<ul>
<li><font>Edited <span style="font-family:courier
new,monospace">/etc/default/saned</span> and set <span
style="font-family:courier new,monospace">RUN=yes</span>.</font></li>
<li><font>Then started the sane service: <span
style="font-family:courier new,monospace">service
saned start</span></font></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><font>Run xsane, it discovered the scanner and worked
perfectly.</font><br>
</li>
</ul>
The only issue I had is for multi-page documents, it didn't
wait between pages, but scanned the same page over and over.
This might be user error and nothing to do with xsane though.<br>
<br>
</div>

If you want to process multi-page documents you should use scanbd to
do button controlled scans
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/scanbd/">http://sourceforge.net/projects/scanbd/</a>). You can search the SANE
devel archive and ask this mailing list about scanbd. <br>
<br>
You need to use latest SANE from git to enable full button support
for your scanner. You can use my Ubuntu PPA to upgrade libsane
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/sane-devel/2013-April/031177.html">http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/sane-devel/2013-April/031177.html</a>).<br>
