I also have been looking for running the scanner...(maybe am I dreaming?..never knows!) ...with empty ink cartridges ...but as now no result (aargh!..damned chips!) I have bought and installed new ones to get use of it!
(I should better have bought a separate scanner)

So you can't run the scanner part of your printer once it runs out of ink? Unbelievable!also have been looking for running the scanner...(maybe am I dreaming?..never knows!) ...with empty ink cartridges ...but as now no result (aargh!..damned chips!) I have bought and installed new ones to get use of it!
I was thinking of buying some used Canon all-in-ones for testing purposes on the scanners, but I guess there is no point in doing that.

Hi rcrsn51,
...reinstalling my system,
I installed both "...1.10..pet" and the "pixma-mp150.pet", these last one to get /usr/local/bin/pixmascan installed.
Before installing "pixma-mp150.pet", I also had to manually insert "canon_mfp" into dll.conf.
Works nice on toutou412 (french translation of puppy412)
Thanks
Cheers
Charlie

Hi,
now using puppy 4.3.1
libsane-pixma.so.1.0.20 is already installed in usr/lib/sane on a fresh puppy 4.3.1;
I have only installed pixma-mp150.pet
canon_mfp is present in dll.conf
Sane freezes till I get now this message:
"I/O error input"
nb: I tried also installing the scangearmp_common-1.10-1.i386.pet and modified the symlink to get libsane-pixma.so.1.0.19 activated; but in this case sane answers "there is no USB peripheral connected and "libsub" seems to be outdated.
Back to libsane-pixma.so.1.0.20 gets the MP160 again recognized but not working...see above paragraph.
edited:
I went to accidentaly erase /usr/lib/sane/libsane-canon_mfp.so...ooops!
I reinstalled scangearmp_common-1.10-1.i386.pet to and modify the link to activate libsane-pixma.so.1.0.19. Restarted X and now the SCANNER WORKS!
Sorry if all this looks a bit confused!
thanks in advance for any advice
Cheers, charlie

Hi rcrsn51,
-Using now turbopup_Xtreme-v1.0 (= pup420 derivative) frugall-
I had like tu use Canon MP160 (usb connected) both scanner and printer features.
I have installed:
mp150_sane-0.14.4.pet and
scangearmp_common-1.10-1.i386.pet
and got rid of cups1.4b2 using
cups-1.3.9-i486.pet and
cupsd.conf.zip
according to your instructions (many thanks to you and Patriot!)
1.Printer : works fine
2.Scanner :
2.1. works only from command line like this one:
2.2. From Xsane gui: I cannot get anything to save; when scanning is finished, the following message is displayed:
Only the »preview» works.
Before installing the printer, the scanner was working OK from Xsane gui.
I have searched the forum for relevant posts about this but found none.
Thanks for any suggestion
Cheers, Charlie

Hmmmm (to quote Patriot). The CUPS 1.3.x installers also modify the permissions of USB printer devices. Maybe that's what has caused your scanner to fail after upgrading CUPS.charlie6 wrote:Before installing the printer, the scanner was working OK from Xsane gui.
You might be stuck using the command line.
My HP scanner works with the CUPS upgrade, so it's not a problem for everyone.
Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou Mr rcrsn51kind sir!
Got the mp490 printing and scanning way faster than in windows (in luci-213)
Cheers

jusr installed my mp250 using Patriot's pets. Using Puppy 5.01 and with the quirky backend installed can access the scanner with xsane but scangear refuses to se it.Have uninstalled the scangearmp-1.40.pet and re installed it. The scangear entry shows up in Gimp 2.6 but cant find the scanner.
Am I doing som'at wrong?
