[sane-devel] Canon 9000F does not work

[Heini X]

Hello,

I am using Linux Mint 13 and try to use a CanoScan 9000F up to now
without success.

My procedure:

Dowloaded sane backends 1.0.23, unpacked and in the source dir I did:


./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
make
sudo make install



sane-find-scanner 

  # sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the
  # result is different from what you expected, first make sure your
  # scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer.

  # No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make
sure that
  # you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.

found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9 [Canon], product=0x1908 [CanoScan]) at
libusb:002:006
  # Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be
supported by
  # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.

  # Not checking for parallel port scanners.

  # Most Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary
ports
  # can't be detected by this program.

  # You may want to run this program as root to find all devices. Once
you
  # found the scanner devices, be sure to adjust access permissions as
  # necessary.


And now:
scanimage -V
scanimage (sane-backends) 1.0.23; backend version 1.0.22

scanimage -L

No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).


sudo scanimage -L
gives the same result.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?


Best wishes
