[sane-devel] Canon Pixma MP230

I can scan properly with all resolutions (75, 150, 300 and 600). If, while
scanning I press the "cancel" button, it cancels properly in xsane. The
data related to buttons with scanimage -A is (there's info about Scan Mode,
Geometry, Gamma and Extras too):
Buttons:
    --button-update
        Update button state
    --button-1 <int> [0]
        Button 1
    --button-2 <int> [0]
        Button 2

With debug mode 11, there's no extra information.

I think that the diff format is the one that I attach.

Anything else you need, about commands or testing or something, tell me.
