Hello,

I have a Canon scanner type IX-4015 (fladbed, color) that I would like to
make usable in an Linux environment.

The only driver I have are made for Windows (twain), so this one I can't
use. If I would have more information about the protocol the scanner is
using I could make a device driver for it but unfortunately the refuse to
supply me with this information at Canon.

- Is there anyone in the Linux community that has experience with drivers
for scsi-flatbed scanners?
- Is the protocol a bit standarized?
- Is there a possibility to use (and change) other scanner software?
- Does anybody have more info on the protocol of the IX-4015 or another
Canon scanner?

Many thanks,
Arie
