[sane-devel] canon pixma MX890 ADF empty test OK

[Rolf Bensch]

Hi Henry,

If possilble please log the usb protocols of a multi page scan on a
windows machine. Please scan a small area of approx. 5mm x 5mm @ 75 dpi
to reduce log file size.

You can use one of these programs: snoopypro, usbsnoop
(http://benoit.papillault.free.fr/usbsnoop/) or wireshark.

Then we can have a look what commands are used to perform and finish a
multi page scan process without leaving the printer in a confused state.

The ml rejects emails larger than 100 kB. Please send the log file
directly to my email address.

Cheers,
Rolf
