Hello!

How do I record this log? I'm pretty shure that the CanoScan 3000 Series 
should work after "some" coding with the genesys drivers, because of 
this SANE unsupported device information page 
http://www.sane-project.org/unsupported/canon-3000.html
It seems not many sane-users have this scanner. But I have and I am 
willing to make it supported! If you need any information from the 
scanner, tell me and I try to provide it!

Hope it'll work someday!

Christian
