Hi  Rolf,

thanks for your hard work and leaving the SANE project with discernment.

I had some negative experiences when people left a project with
getting unresponsive and even destructive.

A nice example for a smooth farewell.

I never got the opportunity to use the PIXMA backend because I decided
not to buy a "all-in-one" device (multi function printer, fax,
copier).
( Maybe again a cool Canon scanner. )

Regards,
