[sane-devel] Canon Pixma MX525

[Rolf Bensch]

Hi,

Please test the scanner connected to USB only, first. Are all scan
options working without errors or currupted images, except ADF? If there
are problems I can fix them.

Then test LAN/WLAN.

ADF paper empty detection is buggy for all MP150 based scanners. If you
like to help fixing this issue, please join this thread:
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/sane-devel/2014-March/032138.html.
I cannot fix this by myself 'cause I have no ADF scanner.

Cheers,
Rolf
