Description of problem: Looks like a bug was introduced in sane-backends-1.0.21 that broke several Cannon Pixma scanners... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sane-backends-1.0.21-5 and sane-backends-1.0.21-6 are both affected, but this appears to be an issue with 1.0.21 in general with Cannon Pixma scanners. How reproducible: This scanner has worked since Fedora 12, this is the first time I've fired it up under Fedora 14 though. With an affected scanner, install sane-backends-1.0.21, sane-frontends-1.0.14, and xsane-0.998. Run xsane: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Press "Preview", image scans into preview window 2. Press "scan", a popup error ===> "Operation was cancelled" 3. Scanner never was activated, no scanned image was produced Actual results: The document did not scan... Expected results: I expected the document to scan... Additional info: I compiled sane-backends-1.0.22, the issue seems to be resolved. Here's a link to some discussion on this from the Debian side: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=585887 I haven't found it referenced yet on the Redhat / Fedora side
ahh... I must have HUA Syndrome. I found bug 583352. It helps if you search for Canon instead of Cannon. 677283 also exists out there to build 1.0.22.
A new upstream version with many bugfixes and enhancements has been released. Please check whether you issue persists with this updated package: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/sane-backends-1.0.22-1.fc14
sane-backends-1.0.22-1.fc14 works with the Pixma scanner I own (connected by usb). It runs fine as a standard user. I have previewed and scanned several images tonight, stopped and started Xsane several times too. Looks good from here, thanks!
