I switched today from Windows to Linux. I have a Canon i-SENSYS MF4380dn multifunction printer that is available via network (ethernet). At the Canon site I could find the printer driver and I was able to register the device as network printer. Now I want to install/configure the scanner. I tried different ways via sane etc., e. g. this one: askubuntu but I don't really get how to do the configuration for the network mode. Simple Scan tells me that there is no scanner reachable. Can somebody help me? Thanks in advance.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rolfbensch/sane-git
andsudo apt-get update
as here launchpad.net/~rolfbensch/+archive/ubuntu/sane-gitgksudo gedit /etc/sane.d/pixma.conf
to open it so you can change it; to just look at the command isgedit /etc/sane.d/pixma.conf
so perhaps do that first so you can see what is involved; this link covers this area askubuntu.com/questions/75887/…bjnp://192.168.2.199
(thats the ip of my device) to thepixma.conf
. If I try to find my scanner viasudo sane-find-scanner
orscanimage -L
it will not work. I already pulled and installed the sane stuff. Any ideas?sudo scanimage -L [bjnp] udp_command: ERROR - no data received (timeout = 1000) [bjnp] bjnp_init_device_structure: Cannot read mac address, skipping this scanner [bjnp] udp_command: ERROR - no data received (timeout = 1000) [bjnp] add_scanner: ERROR - Cannot read scanner make & model: bjnp://192.168.2.199:8612/timeout=1000
