This gives you some diagnostic and test tools.<br /><br />The backend for your scanner seems to be "plustek".<br /><br />http://sane-project.meier-geinitz.de/sane-mfgs.html#Z-CANON<br /><br />Try "man sane-plustek" and see if that helps.FreewheelinFrankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02747785651547255621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7137523581008208380.post-17486406233036060642013-11-18T07:14:38.527-08:002013-11-18T07:14:38.527-08:00Hi there,

I am trying to scan with CanoScan LiDE 20 by Canon, but no success.<br />The OS tetects the scanner, but it does not start scanning.<br />Where is the problem?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05906276004074162289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7137523581008208380.post-73175694506649782702010-06-24T13:17:52.151-07:002010-06-24T13:17:52.151-07:00I intend to upgrade when Squeeze becomes the stabl...I intend to upgrade when Squeeze becomes the stable release- my scanner works fine now, as does everything else I've tried so far in Lenny, except for Compiz, but that's something I can live without until Squeeze. A lot of the packages are a little dated, but again. I can live with them for a few months.<br /><br />I was thinking about trying Testing but my CD drive seems to be on the way out, and I'm worried that if I wipe my present installation, I might not be able to reinstall anything- it's been touch and go on a few recent "distro-hopping" installs.<br /><br />With Squeeze coming out soon, the risk didn't seem worth it.FreewheelinFrankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02747785651547255621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7137523581008208380.post-47813304109628619112010-06-23T14:20:20.741-07:002010-06-23T14:20:20.741-07:00Why don't you try upgrade-ing to Squeeze and i...Why don't you try upgrade-ing to Squeeze and installing simple-scan. That this, I think this procedure could be the same one as on ubuntu. Squeeze will definitely be the "most simple" Debian so far. <br /><br />However I recommend using netinstall instead of using Alpha Squeeze 1 installer.Adnan Hodzichttp://www.foolcontrol.orgnoreply@blogger.com
