[sane-devel] Canon PIXMA MG5550

[Rolf Bensch]

Hi François,

Your scanner is fully supported since Sane 1.0.25.

To use Sane 1.0.25 you need to install Sane from source as described
here: http://www.sane-project.org/README.linux.

Or, if you're using Ubuntu or one of its clones, you can use my ppa: '$
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rolfbensch/sane-git'.

Cheers,
Rolf
