from the Canon website
(http://de.software.canon-europe.com/products/0011145.asp), which I compiled
and installed from source (together with sane-backend-1.0.19). It is not
working, I believe, because it is for the i86 architecture.

Dear Moritz,

I've bought a p208II and want to use it with my raspberrypi2.
I followed your discussion at raspberrypi.org but it will not find the p208.
Wheater as listes usb device (lsusb) nor as scanner (sane-find-scanner).
 I'm not using a active usb hub yet.

Do you have any advices?
