[sane-devel] Canon Pixma MP230

[Rolf Bensch]

Hi Marc,

You need to compile and install SANE if you change something in the
code. The installation is described in README.linux, which comes with
the code or read here: http://www.sane-project.org/README.linux.

Additional to the install description you need to add your scanner to
the udev.rules file.

You don't need to set PIXMA_EXPERIMENT=1.

If you want to see the debug output you need to set 'export
SANE_DEBUG_PIXMA=4' and start xsane from the command line. 'export
SANE_DEBUG_PIXMA=11' is useful if you want to see the usb protocols.

Don't hestitate to contact me if you have any problems.

Cheers,
Rolf
