Xsane does not offer the canon scanner as a device on start up.
I have tried

Code: Select all

ventolero@ventol:~$ xsane
ventolero@ventol:~$ dmesg | grep canon
ventolero@ventol:~$ lsusb

From Arch Linux Sane Wiki

Try running

Code: Select all

# scanimage -L
as root to check for permissions problems.

Also check the Arch wiki for troubleshooting USB3 ports

Code: Select all

ventolero@ventol:~$ sudo scanimage -L
[sudo] password for root: 
device `v4l:/dev/video0' is a Noname BisonCam, NB Pro virtual device
ventolero@ventol:~$ 
I use an USB2 port in my computer, to connect the scanner.

I'm running out of ideas. The only driver seems to be the one link in the 3rd post of this thread. It may need an entry in the sane configuration file as described here.

I followed the steps described in this url https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SANE% ... o-detected and xsane still does not recognize the scanner.
However, I have seen that on the spanish Canon page http://www.canon.es/support/consumer_pr ... S&os=LINUX the DR-F120 Linux driver they offer is only for Debian 6 and 7 (I use Debian Jessie). It could not be that the asian driver of the third post was also for Debian 6 and 7 (although it is another driver version). I have both installed (the asian and the spanish) and I do not know if this causes problems. And I would also like to know if I can compile the asian driver for Debian 8.

I did a quick search and came up empty in regard to "Canon Scanner Source Code". Canon appears to just supply pre-compiled binaries.

There is sane https://github.com/kkaempf/sane-backends/blob/master/backend/canon_dr.conf.in code that has an entry for the DR-F120

The source I linked is dated after Debian 8. I may be worthwhile to try Debian 9. Debian 9 has a newer version of the sane-backends.

The https://github.com/kkaempf/sane-backend ... aster/NEWS for sane-backend 1.0.25 shows alot of commits for Canon scanners and version 1.0.25 is in Debian 9.

It is possible to build a package using github current code but can be a complex undertaking.

I read in Sane supported deviceshttp://sane-project.org:
The following table summarizes the devices supported by sane-backends-1.0.27.
And, in Canon DR-F120 entry:
Flatbed not working. ADF working. Simplex+duplex, all resolutions <= 600, gray/color, calibration poor.
:(
So I wonder if it is not better to configure wine and install from there the scanner drivers.
