[sane-devel] Canon DR2020U

[Ulrich Schachenmayr]

I Have the same problem. My scanner is a Canon ImageRUNNER C1028iF
(copy, printer, fax. scanner ). Printer and fax work but I can not get
the scanner working.

Can anyone help me to get this box working under UBUNTU or KUBUBTU
11.10? Thank you for your help
