[sane-devel] Is it possible to add support for the Canon Pixma MG2950 ?

[Rolf Bensch]

Hi Yannick,

I just added your scanner and all other new Canon consumer scanners to
Sane's development version 1.0.25git.

You can install Sane from git now or wait for the next daily git
snapshot until tomorrow.

Please follow the installation description from README.linux:
http://www.sane-project.org/docs.html.

The new scanners are not tested yet. But your scanner should work
without any problems. All other scanners should work up to 600dpi.

Please report your results.

If your scanner is working, I can switch the status from 'untested' to
'complete'.

Cheers,
Rolf
