After having problems with the MX340, I tried the listed instructions. The following line comes from config.log: $ ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --enable-libusb_1_0
It compiled and installed just fine. I did this some time ago, but you can compare the timestamps in /usr/lib/sane/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 2011-04-21 18:29 libsane-pixma.so -> libsane-pixma.so.1.0.23 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 2011-04-21 18:29 libsane-pixma.so.1 -> libsane-pixma.so.1.0.23 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 116476 2010-04-14 22:24 libsane-pixma.so.1.0.20 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 332677 2011-04-21 18:29 libsane-pixma.so.1.0.23 You can see the new version (generated from the instructions given) is dated April 2011, the old version (from Ubuntu) is dated April 2010. The soft links point to the new version. xsane, when run as a normal user, does not detect the MX340. I ran some of the diagnostics on the command line, and they also do not detect the MX340. If I run "sudo xsane", against all warnings and provisions, miraculously the scanner can be used. Briefly. xsane will eventually lock up during a preview scan or a full scan. I'm not sure this one update is enough to resolve the problem, although I am running 10.04 LTS. Perhaps there are additional problems for 10.04. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/701001 Title: Canon MX340 All-In-One - Scanner requires manual SANE compilation to work -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
