As at 24th April 2015, the Canon Pixma MG5600 series is reported as
untested.<br>
<br>
I built and installed sane-backends from git repository as at
20150424 (commit f6896e0de481fad5c63bf7ffc271aca89b9cbb01) and
successfully performed scanning via USB connection for a Canon Pixma
MG5650 on Ubuntu Linux.<br>
<br>
<br>
Operating system: Ubuntu 14.04, Linux 3.13.0-49-generic, x86_64<br>
<br>
sane-backends built with:<br>
./configure --disable-latex BACKENDS="pixma"<br>
(had to disable latex to avoid

)<br>

Tested scanner by installing 'simple scan' application on Ubuntu.
Previously, using the sane-backends debian package from the Ubuntu
repositories (sane-backends 1.0.23-3ubuntu3.1), 'simple-scan' did
not detect the scanner. After building sane-backends, simple-scan
detected scanner as 'CANON Canon PIXMA MG5600 Series'. Successfully
scanned images at 150dpi grayscale and 300dpi, 600dpi and 1200 dpi
color.<br>
