<div> </div>
<div>I am writing to this list to let you know that the above Canon MFP - a 5350 in my case - works (in general) using the pixma backend. (Documentation says it's untested.) It's detected automatically via network, so that's excellent. On top of that, I came across a peculiar issue that involves scanning at 1200 dpi resolution (all other resolutions work just fine):</div>
<div> </div>
<div>When using xsane frontend, the resulting image looks as though it is cut in half (vertically) and then the two halves are interlaced column by column into the final result. Re-extracting the two halves is actually possible using GIMP, for instance, but they do not quite add up to a complete image. (A couple columns seem to be missing.)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>When using simple-scan frontend, the resulting image looks like the actual image but interlaced column by column with a white image of the same size, stretching the actual image horizontally by 100 percent. Erasing every other column in this output will actually yield the expected and usable result.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This, btw., is the exact same result you get when using scanimage --resolution 1200 so I assume it's got to do with sane and/or the corresponding pixma backend. I am taking a wild guess here, but could this be explained by an asymmetric resolution of 600*1200 (x*y) that is then inflated to 1200*1200 using white?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Perhaps you can look into this issue. It's good enough for me for the time being - I usually scan using the embedded app on the device - but could use some fixing. TIA!</div>

<div>Kind Regards,</div>
