<p>To Whom It May Concern,</p>
<p>SANE Scanning works great with the Canon MX490. Just unwrapped my
Canon MX490 multi-function Printer / Scanner / Copier / Fax this
morning (Merry Christmas!). It's at Walmart for $34.00 USD - I
pointed it out to my wife last month. I don't know what exactly
may be important for you all to know, so pardon whatever info is
just babble: I connected the Canon MX490 via USB to an 64-bit HP
Compaq dx2400 Microtower, Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU E2180 @
2.00GHz, 7GiB RAM, USB controller is 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB2
EHCI Controller. The computer is running Lubuntu 16.04.4</p>
<p>I couldn't find any Linux driver for it on the U.S. Canon
website, but I saw this post on the Linux Mint Forums
[<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=259251">https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=259251</a>] which
pointed out that Canon Thailand has the IJ Printer Driver 5.10 for
Linux at

and ScanGear MP Ver. 3.10 for Linux at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://support-th.canon-asia.com/contents/TH/EN/0100667202.html">http://support-th.canon-asia.com/contents/TH/EN/0100667202.html</a><br>
</p>
<p>After installing those, (the printer prints and) the scanner not
only works via the ScanGear MP 3.10, but also via SimpleScan
3.20.0 and XSane 0.999 (both of which I'd already had installed).
<br>
</p>
<p>Hope at least some of that info helps you all.</p>
