[sane-devel] Canon Pixma MX525

[Martin]

Hi,

I' got the same Pixma, but I'd like to have it with the LAN to scan.  It
seems to work with the new version, using ubuntu I use sane 1.0.25 from
the Rolf Bensch https://launchpad.net/~rolfbensch/+archive/sane-git[1]

I also find the scangearmp a little bit bad, I'm not excited from its
results.  For adf it just makes gray pdf files from white paper, and its
a bit bad to work with that further.

scanadf works, but when it comes to an end (no more paper in the feeder)
it comes with an error.  Then the driver or scanner or something else is
in a bad state so I cannot use the scanner anymore - but a restart of my
computer seems to solve the problem.  Ok, I don't want to restart the
computer for every scan.

If I can help you (have also little programming experience) I would do
that.
