[sane-devel] classic(linux): sane-find-scanners finds a scanner, but scanimage -L doesn't...

[m. allan noah]

Sorry for your troubles.

Note the MP630 is supported by the pixma backend, not by the canon630u
backend. So, make sure the pixma backend is enabled in dll.conf, and
has the correct usb ids in it, and remove that ID you added to
canon630u.conf.

Then try running the following command as root:

SANE_DEBUG_PIXMA=11 scanimage -L 2>mp630.log

then lets have a look at that mp630.log, and see what we can find.
