[sane-devel] Canon MF4140

[Bob Dronski]

Jean-Nicolas,

There seems to be a lot of confusion.

Daniel seems to also have the same unit but must be having separate  
problems from me.  He is NOT answering for me.

Let me repeat my situation.
I am running on Mac 10.5.  I have used both Mattias Ellert's pre-built  
binaries for mac, as well as building the sane package myself.

This is from sane-find-scanner.
	found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9 [Canon Inc.], product=0x26a3  
[MF4100]) at libusb:003:004-04a9-26a3-00-00

And scanimage -L reports
	device `pixma:04A926A3_SDF7Z0155773B' is a CANON Canon imageCLASS  
MF4150 multi-function peripheral

When I attempt to execute scanimage -T, it tries to read the first  
scanline and freezes.

Now udev is definitely NOT running on my machine.  the GREP output is  
misleading, because it shows my GREP process looking for the term  
udev.  If I export the output of ps -A to a file, udev does not exist.

But as I said, there IS a /usr/local/etc/udev/rules.d/libsane.rules  
that exists and it has the proper listing for the 4150.  I had to  
manually move the .rules file as it was created in my build but didn't  
transfer to /usr/local/etc/udev/rules.d/ that did already exist.

So my question is, When/how does udev get created?  Should it be  
created by the build?  Might I have used the wrong parameters in the  
configure command?
I used	./configure --prefix=/usr/local --sysconfdir=/usr/local/etc

Does this make things clearer?
