[sane-devel] Sane support for Canon PIXMA MG2120, trying to get it to work

[Rolf Bensch]

Hi David,

Sane 1.0.24 isn't a released version. Please fetch it from git and
install in manually on your system. I think that we need to patch some
small issues. This can only be done with the git version.

Cheers,
Rolf
