FYI, the Canon PIXMA MP140 (all-in-one) is now operational with Sane, the pixma backend has been updated to have the scanner part now working.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks to Eric, recent owner of a MP140, and who supplied me with USB Snoop scans under Windows, it was possible to notice that, although being a model recently released by Canon, the MP140 does not use the latest, but the previous version of Canon's Pixma USB protocol (the one for PIXMA MP160, MP600, ...)<BR>
<BR>
Changes done in pixma backend for enabling MP140 seems satisfactory, here under, the latest conversations with Eric.<BR>
Just uploaded today into CVS.<BR>
<BR>
Of course, please report if anyone gets any issues.<BR>

Ok then, that sounds fine.<BR>
<BR>
I will next add the code to the Sane CVS version so that it will be integrated in next Sane release.<BR>
<BR>
If you don't mind, I'll inform the Sane developers mailing list of this news, and copy of our last exchanges.<BR>
<BR>

Xsane worked fine as well. I just had to run #make install, and tell the application that yes, I want to install it. I did not try Kooka, but I will. I had no problem with permissions, I was able to run as user with no problem. Thanks for all of your work on this. <BR>
<BR>
Sincerely,<BR>

Great news then !<BR>
<BR>
I took a look at the log file and the scan and messages looks right !<BR>
<BR>
Did you try it with Xsane ?<BR>
If scanning is correct with Xsane, then it should be OK with other frontends (Kooka, ...), but it can be worth a try too.<BR>
<BR>
Let me know if scanning is right using Xsane ; if you need instructions on how to install it and set udev and permissions, you can look at the blog page I gave you (here under in the mails exchanges)<BR>
<BR>
Thanks Eric for your help and feedback!<BR>

Hello!<BR>
<BR>
That seems to work! Here is the log file. What do we do next? Would you like me to test more, with different frontends, etc? I am happy to help any way I can.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks very much,<BR>

Hi Eric, <BR>
<BR>
Happy to read from you again!<BR>
<BR>
So the Windows box released the expected log file, which revealed that MP140 looks to simply use ... previous (i.e. MP160, MP600, ...) USB protocol.<BR>
<BR>
Let's do a test ?<BR>
<BR>
Could you use please the package file attached, recompile it, and test it again as before (first with the scan utility provided), and send me back the log file produced.<BR>
<BR>
Sincerely<BR>
Nicolas<BR>

Ok, my notebook is finally fixed, and it still had the old snooplog I made. Here is a link:<BR>

<BR>
If you need another one, I can make it again. This was made using Omnipage, and I believe I used 150dpi (the minimum dpi for that app). <BR>
