Drivers – Getting a Canon LiDE 200 to Work

canondrivers

I have this Canon LiDE 200 but simple scan cannot use it properly. With the new sane-backend from rober-ancell's ppa the scanner head at least moves a little, but simple-scan simply fails telling me that the scanning fails in a red banner below the menu bar.

Is there some way to get it to work?

Best Answer

I had the same error as the original poster, which led me here.

The 40-libsane.rules file and the sane compatibility list suggested it should "just work", so I tinkered a bit and found that if you change the setting in Simple Scan preferences called Scan Side and set it to Back (rather than the default Front and Back), all is good.
