If you expected something different, make sure that # scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer. # result is different from what you expected, first make sure your # sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. So with regards to the commands, I started with sane-find-scanner and it threw at me that it couldn't find one and that I should try in root mode so logically I progressed to I really do appreciate all of your help and time, it's really helping me out. post #80 of this thread has the key:īEFORE installing the drivers, issue the command

You can check the drivers are installed by that should be the printer driver installed. then when installed, we install the COMMON package first. if you get some answers, it is installed.if not.as per here that should create a DIRECTORY called Linux_UFRII_PrinterDriver_V250_uk_EN. Tar -zxvf Linux_UFRII_PrinterDriver_V250_uk_EN.tar.gz asks for a list of packages in the Downloads directory. So you need to download the ufr driver and if you download to your Downloads directory?Īnd you should download the UFR II Printer Driver for Linux Version 2.50 which comes in as Linux_UFRII_PrinterDriver_V250_uk_EN.tar.gz (were you using 32bit, it would just be a matter of installing the deb packages.) So with 64bit, one needs to convert the 64bit rpm packages to deb packages (yes, Canon only supply printer drivers but sane seems to provide complete support so the scanner should be fine with xsane. if 64bit I can tell you how to convert the 64bit RPM packages to debian packages to install them. the package contains debian packages and they should install fine. if you are still there, tell us if you are using 32bit or 64bit. by selecting the former (open with archive manager) you get to see the directory opened. These days though in Ubuntu, if you click to download, the system will ask if you want to open with archive manager or save. as you say, it is packaged as a tar.gz to make it more compact You need the Canon UFR driver Linux_UFRII_PrinterDriver_V250_uk_EN.tar.gz from here Sorry to hear you are having issues.if you are still out eased to see if I can help.
