New scanner working with Lucid Posted by mholmes on 04 Jan 2011 in R & D, Activity log, Documentation Attempting to get the new scanner working with Lucid. This is what I tried: Installed the latest sane utils from here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/amd64/sane-utils/1.0.21-0ubuntu1. Installed libsane from here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/amd64/libsane/1.0.21-0ubuntu1 sudo gedit /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules and added the following 2 lines: # Canon CanoScan 8800F ATTRS{idVendor}=="04a9", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1901", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes" Rebooted, and it works. No need for all this with Maverick, though -- works out of the box. This entry was posted by Martin and filed under R & D, Activity log, Documentation.
