I'm very disappointed in Canon. They even have an official message on the Belgian site stating that Linux/other os's are and will not be supported by Canon. Users who seek to use canon USB scanners on other os's should rely on third party drivers wich are in NO WAY supported by Canon.
I've also read (dunno where) that Canon is giving these 3rd party (eg. sane) developers a REALLY hard time.

I have a N650U which reports OK with USBView, do you have another USB device on your system and if so does it shows as it should? > Feedback would be very much appreciated, > > Joris -- Serge Delorme <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Un autre utilisateur GNU/DEBIAN -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
