[sane-devel] How can I help with Canon Maxify MB2000 series testing?

Sun Feb 4 11:44:10 UTC 2018

Hi Patrick,

It seems that we have a general problem with ADF scanning from all
Maxify scanners.

If possible, please provide USB logfiles from a Windows machine scanning
from ADF and duplex ADF, one page and two pages, using Wireshark. Then I
can try to fix this.

In the meantime I'll update the doc files.

Many thanks for your help.

Cheers,
Rolf
