I'm trying to get my Canon MP310 scanner to work with 8.10. I worked perfectly with the Canon MP180 drivers in 8.04. I've upgraded to 8.10 already and xsane doesn't autodetect the scanner like it did before. I ran sane-find-scanner and I got a result: # sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the
# result is different from what you expected, first make sure your
# scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer.

# No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that
# you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.

found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9, product=0x1728) at libusb:001:006
# Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by
# SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.

# Not checking for parallel port scanners.

# Most Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports
# can't be detected by this program.

# You may want to run this program as root to find all devices. Once you
# found the scanner devices, be sure to adjust access permissions as
# necessary.

Then ran scanimage -L and it says No scanners were identified

How do I get sane to add the scanner it really knows it present?

Here's my lsusbBus 001 Device 006: ID 04a9:1728 Canon, Inc. MX310 ser

I tried adding usb 0x04a9 0x1728 to my /etc/sane.d/canon.conf file but it doesn't appear to have made any difference.

It prints fine.

Bump. Anybody know anything about setting up a scanner with xsane?

File a bug, as this is probably a regression. See -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs

Does scanimage find the scanner if it is run as root? (i.e., sudo scanimage -L)

No I get the same message that No scanners were identified
