Hello all.
I am a linux enthusiast however I am hitting an issue with a Canon printer
(MF216n). I compiled Sane (scanimage (sane-backends) 1.0.27git; backend
version 1.0.25).
scanimage  sees and detect my printer/scanner. I user the printer via USB,
not network.
scanimage - L:
"device `pixma:04A927A9_014CAA2B8A64' is a CANON Canon i-SENSYS MF210
Series multi-function peripheral"


scanimage  -T however provides the following output:
----

At that point the scanner just stops and the "data processing light"
blinks. After a few seconds the scanner displays "Canceled"
When using simplescan the picture scan is blank.

I am not sure what happens. I understand my model is not "fully
tested/supported" so any steps you'd like me to try, let me know.

Thanks again for this super tool. I got it to work with another canon but I
no longer use that printer...

Cheers.
