Hi folks,
for some time I used a HP 2840 AiO device, connected via LAN, to scan
documents. As scanning application I use xsane. I want to replace that
HP scanner by a CanoScan LiDE 210.

Now I connected CanoScan LiDE 210 Scanner via USB cable to my CentOS 6
workstation.
# dmesg | tail --lines=15

After opening xsane it seems to be connected to the HP Scanner. I can
not find any options for choosing another scanner device. From
http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html I can see that CanoScan
LiDE 210 is supported by genesys 1.0-63. From my understanding on
CentOS the genesys backend is included in sane-backends:
# LANG="" yum info sane-backends

frame-grabbers, etc.).
The sane-backends is installed, but I can not "see" the scanner:
# scanimage -L
device `hpaio:/net/HP_Color_LaserJet_2840?zc=NPI9AC264' is a
Hewlett-Packard HP_Color_LaserJet_2840 all-in-one
I have no idea what I can do now. It is not clear to me if
sane-backends package really includes the required genesys 1.0-63
version.
Any help to make the new scanner work is appreciated.
My Cannon printer / scanner needed an application from Cannon called
scangear in order to work - Cannon doesn't play well with Linux, they
have proprietary ways of doing things.
Then the scangear results need to be massaged extensively so you can
attach it to an email as the typical scan is huge / photo quality and no
options to produce something like my Ricoh copier does with a scan to
pdf / email.
I will not buy Cannon products again.

Meikel
