Welcome to the libmfp2-canon wiki!
Sane backend 'canon_pixma' for CANON's scanners
Because of changes in CANON's network communication protocols,some of CANON's scanner
became unsuported by sane.
This backend is for making the CANON's scanners, using the new communication protocol,
to be supported by sane and any of the frontends implementing sane. It reuse the free
code of the scangearmp2 program to access to the scanners functionalities and
implementing the sane functions.
We separated the code from the backend, to make it a library with only free code.
This library is dependent on the scangearmp2 package provided by Canon.
The current version is 3.70, the list of scanners supported is below.
You can download the archive that contains the 32/64 bit driver here:

Better image quality than 'pixma' backend (with an output image size of 2480x3507 pixels) Usable in Wi-fi.
Tested with sane 1.0.25 and 1.0.27 (may not work for lower versions) Currently the backend allow image in A4 format. The scan works in color or in gray map. The options are not well handled, so they might not work. The color option allow to chose between color or graymap modes. The resolution option allow to have a hight or low quality for the output.
When using xsane : bug with the display of the selected color option (Fixed)
