I recently switched from windows vista to ubuntu 11.10. I realized that my printer/Scanner/photocopier was not working.I went on www.canon-asia.com and downloaded the driver for the printer.Now the printer is working fine.But the site doesnt have a driver for the scanner for linux and Xsane is not detecting my scanner . I tried running the windows and mac version of the driver through wine and acetoneiso but to no avail. Please help me out . I really need my scanner to work

Thanks

  • You scan through GIMP only for Canon multifunction machines, see my comment at [this question](http://askubuntu.com/questions/123638/canon-multifunctional-mg3150-printer-ok-but-scanning-is-not#comment147662_123638) for links to more info. – Tom Brossman Apr 21 '12 at 12:30
