I have a Canon Pixma G2100 multifunctional that prints very well but I cannot use the scanner. My Linux is a Xubuntu 18.04 updated.
I followed this link to install the scanner (option B - from source): https://blog.droidzone.in/tag/sane/
Both commands autoreconf and debuild show many warnings and some errors but the scangearmp-common_2.30-1_amd64.debis generated and can be installed without error messages.
I add the definition in the 2 lines below to /etc/udev/rules.d/80-canon_mfp.rules and /etc/udev/rules.d/80-canon_mfp2.rules
#G2000 series
ATTR{idVendor}==”04a9″, ATTR{idProduct}==”1795″, MODE=”666″
At this point, lsusb and sane-find-scanner detect my usb scanner but scanimage, simple scan and xsane don't.
Another try, using the procedure of the link below give the same result: Scanner Canon Pixma G2000 not detected on scangearmp
I find that this multifunctional is old in the US and Europe and never had an original Canon linux driver. It was sold as a novelty in Brazil last year and I bought it thinking I could find a sane driver.
Does anyone has a solution for this problematic scanner?
