[sane-devel] Canon Pixma MP140 Series

[Eric and MJ]

Hi, I (maybe foolishly) bought a Canon Pixma MP145 that I saw on sale, and
have been trying to get it to work for a while now.  It is not supported by
SANE, but just this morning I checked back at Canon Asia, and just in the
last two weeks they have released an rpm to support this model.
http://support-asia.canon-asia.com/search?v%3aproject=AZZ-EN&binning-state=model%3d%3dPIXMA%20MP145%0amenu%3d%3dDownload%0aproduct%3d%3dMultifunctional%20Printers%0aos%3d%3dLinux&

The rpms all say MP140, as did the windows driver cd, so I assume this is
the same machine as was marketed in the US and Europe as the MP140.  Anyway
I installed them, yet sane still doesn't find my scanner (nor does Kooka for
that matter).  The printer drivers work fine.  But that is quite a bit
simpler, eh?  What might it take to get this supported by SANE, now that
Canon has released official Linux support for the device?  Oh, I use Fedora
8, and my sane version is 1.0.18-17.

Thanks!
