I bought a Canon PIXMA MG6150 and i am new at ubuntu. With the drivers from Canon i got it running a as a printer, but i have problems using it as scanner. With the Canon drivers it runs under GIMP with Scangear MP. But i want to use XSANE or gscan2pdf and in these programs it doesn't work. They tell me that no devices are available. Can anyone help me?

If you have installed the drivers from Canon, the ScanGear application is there too.

Run scangearmp. That command can be added into a .desktop file, like so.

Or run from Gimp: File-Create-SangearMP.

ScanGear can save as pdf
