[sane-devel] [Multifunction Canon MF4120] Scanner Test : successful

[Nicolas Martin]

This looks to be an nth version of the same Canon ImageClass
multifunction, that we already seen here under ref. MF4122

Although their colors/look are a little bit different, they seem to
understand the same pixma dialect ... but they've been really betrayed
by their usb ids, which are identical: 04a9:26a3
Will update the pixma backend docs with this info.
  
This is probably part of Canon's complex marketing and commercial
strategy, which leads to release (almost) same equipments under
different dresses, in different countries, and probably at different
prices :)

Agree with you, hope we'll see some day a new Sane version released ...

Thanks (merci) Aurélien for the feedback on MF4120 anyway.
