[sane-devel] Canon MX490 Scanning Works on Lubuntu 16.04.4

[Eric Bradshaw]

To Whom It May Concern,

Sorry for my previous post with the exact same info. I accidentally sent 
it in HTML. Only one correction - the computer runs Lubuntu 16.04.5 
instead of Lubuntu 16.04.4

SANE Scanning works great with the Canon MX490. Just unwrapped my Canon 
MX490 multi-function Printer / Scanner / Copier / Fax this morning 
(Merry Christmas!). It's at Walmart for $34.00 USD - I pointed it out to 
my wife last month. I don't know what exactly may be important for you 
all to know, so pardon whatever info is just babble: I connected the 
Canon MX490 via USB to an 64-bit HP Compaq dx2400 Microtower, Intel(R) 
Pentium(R) Dual CPU E2180 @ 2.00GHz, 7GiB RAM, USB controller is 82801I 
(ICH9 Family) USB2 EHCI Controller. The computer is running Lubuntu 16.04.5

I couldn't find any Linux driver for it on the U.S. Canon website, but I 
saw this post on the Linux Mint Forums 
[https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=259251] which pointed out 
that Canon Thailand has the IJ Printer Driver 5.10 for Linux at 
https://support-th.canon-asia.com/contents/TH/EN/0100666902.html and 
ScanGear MP Ver. 3.10 for Linux at 
http://support-th.canon-asia.com/contents/TH/EN/0100667202.html

After installing those, (the printer prints and) the scanner not only 
works via the ScanGear MP 3.10, but also via SimpleScan 3.20.0 and XSane 
0.999 (both of which I'd already had installed).

Hope at least some of that info helps you all.
