Bug Description

Scanning from simple-scan using a CanoScan LIDE 120 has very different results:

Ubuntu 14 originally comes with a sane-driver that does not support this scanner.

Ubuntu 15 & 16 with original sane-package produces only black empty pages.

Ubuntu 16 LTS with self-built sane version 1.25 or 1.26 (daily GIT snapshot) produces only black and empty pages.

WORKAROUND: Ubuntu 14 with additional sane-package out of apt-repository from ppa:rolfbensch/sane-git works without problems.

Hans Müller / Rolf Leggewie, unfortunately, I wasn't aware that apport doesn't presently work for sane-backends, and I've filed https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/1656599 about it. My bad.

Hello, all.

 Scanner CanoScan Lide 120 is detected but doesn't work with Simplescan or Xsane. Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

May be because The sane-genesys library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that provides access to USB flatbed scanners based on the Genesys GL646, GL841, GL843, GL847 and GL124 chips.

the canoscan Lide 120 is based on a GL848+ !!!!!

not supported !!!

thanks to see that.
