In F24 the behavior is exactly the same - the scanner is detected but not available. Sorry for the late response, that it is detected on the BJNP layer is not surprising -- it's the networking layer with which the driver talks to the scanner before even establishing what exact model it is. I've cross-checked the list of supported devices for SANE: Stable Version: http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html#Z-CANON Development Version: http://www.sane-project.org/lists/sane-mfgs-cvs.html#Z-CANON Neither of which list the MG7750 model, but the development version has support for the MG7700 series now (over the stable version). Can you build the development version from the git repository and check if it works for you? Will do - many thanks for your response. I've built the SANE backends but I'm not familiar with how they're packaged on Fedora, so do you happen to have a suggestion for how to (relatively) simply temporarily replace the default version with the newly built one? Oops, dropped that one, sorry. You can build the libraries into a private prefix, e.g. mine installs into $HOME/opt/sane-backends-master, then set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include that prefix + /lib, or prefix + /lib64 (depending on where it exactly installs the libraries). Does that answer your question? Mikkel, have you had a chance to try hwat I described in comment #2 and comment #4? This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '24'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 24 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 24 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-08-08. Fedora 24 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. No longer in possession of the scanner in question. |
