Hi,Looking around, the udev rules thing is probably the culprit. I would at least give it a try.
# Canon i-SENSYS MF269 Series
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04a9", ATTRS{idProduct}=="27f4", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"
...somewhere in the middle with the other i-SENSYS and imageClass machines.
When Rolf or Louis come online, they probably would have better informed help! ;)
They're good little multifunction machines, those imageClass printers from Canon.I have an MF4770N and it goes on and on.
Cheers,Ralph

Yeah, I figured I could iron out permissions issues later, so, I'm not overly worried about the 'sudo' thing at this point. Looks like version is correct: $ scanimage -V
scanimage (sane-backends) 1.0.27; backend version 1.0.27
Even with root, though, doesn't seem to work. Well, thanks for your help. If nothing else surfaces, I'll probably try to find someone to trade with.

Hi, Hmmm, sounds like a device permissions issue.
This is a little out of my usual area.
A couple of things to check: 1) Check /lib/udev/rules.d/60-libsane.rules and make sure there is something in there for your USB device (or whatever file has libsane in the name). I think you need an entry to get permissions as a normal user. https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=5945&start=40
2) You could try to run the scanimage as root to check I guess to see if it is a genuine permissions issue.
3) Make sure that you don't have a mixture of package sane and locally installed binaries from your build. I know this does cause problems sometimes.

Alas, I cannot report success. I was able to modify and build as you suggested.
I now get this: $ sane-find-scanner
# sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the
# result is different from what you expected, first make sure your
# scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer.
# No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that
# you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.

$ sudo scanimage -V

Any other info that might help? I've attached the patch. Regardless, thanks very much for your help.

Hi, Good luck! A lot of the imageClass (I-SENSYS in Europe, I think) printers seem to be pretty much the same inside with slight software variations.
Seems like they keep having to churn the designs externally.

Thanks for the quick response, Ralph, I'll take a swing at building it and post the results to the list.

Hi, It is an imageClass printer by the looks of it. The USB code does not seem to be listed in the source so probably not a supported printer. The relevant code is in the SANE backends here:
https://gitlab.com/sane-project/backends/blob/master/backend/pixma_imageclass.c
See the list of #defines at the top. If you're feeling adventurous, you could add the printer to the source and see if it works. It looks very similar to the MF244 so you could use that as a template.
At the top, add:
#define MF269_PID 0x27f4
and towards the bottom, add: DEV ("Canon i-SENSYS MF269 Series", "MF269", MF269_PID, 600, 300, 634, 1050, PIXMA_CAP_ADF), /* max. w = 215mm, */
...and build it and test it. Better to start with USB rather than network.
Failing that, perhaps Rolf could add it tentatively for his PPA. He is usually pretty responsive.
Cheers, Ralph

I was able to use a Canon ImageClass MF260-series with vanilla Ubuntu
18.04 recently, I'm pretty sure it was the MF264dw.
I ordered one for myself, but failed to notice that I was getting the
MF269dw instead of the 264.
SANE-powered apps don't seem to be able to detect the scanner, though
the printer works fine.

# result is different from what you expected, first make sure your
# scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer.
# No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make

I also tried using the network connection. I looked at the pixma.conf as
the best bet for the driver, but noticed that the printer is not
listening on port 8612.

Any suggestions?
