[sane-devel] trying Canon DR-3080C

[m. allan noah]

Go ahead and try it with the current version, and see if that works.

If you want to build a dev version:

1. install the libusb-dev package (or libusb-devel, not sure what your
version of linux calls it)
2. install gcc package and it's required dependencies (though it's
probably already installed)
3. download latest sane-backends from http://www.sane-project.org/snapshots/
4. tar xzf sane-backends...
5. cd sane-backends...
6. (all on one line):
 BACKENDS=canon_dr ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --disable-locking
7. make (then wait awhile)
8. copy the file backend/.libs/libsane-canon_dr.so.1.0.21 over top of
the copy provided by your distro, probably
/usr/lib/sane/libsane-canon_dr.so.1.0.20, and copy
backend/canon_dr.conf over the copy in /etc/sane.d
You can save the old files before you overwrite it if you want.
9. test with scanimage

Only step #8 needs to be done as root. If you dont see it or it does
not work, let me know.
