[sane-devel] Sending confirmation about the pixma backend

[Jeroen Van den Keybus]

Rogerio,


I use a HP C309a and X576dw (fast scanning) daily and reliably with their
hplip drivers and gscan2pdf. No issues.

I needed the Canon LiDE220 as a scan-only device (work on desk) and HP's
ScanJets are a bit expensive. I would expect the drivers to be working well
on that device too.
