CanoScan LiDE 110 is connected to my Ubuntu 11.04. I need to scan remotely using the command line.

How can I use the scanner from the command line?

Tried/Failed/Succeed:

$ apt-get install sane sane-utils

$ scanimage

scanimage: no SANE devices found

$ scanadf

scanadf: no SANE devices found



$ sane-find-scanner

failed... over and over to find the correct one.. (very strange)



$ dmesg 

now found something...(after waiting a lot)





$ scanimage -L

device `genesys:libusb:001:018' is a Canon LiDE 110 flatbed scanner



$ scanimage -x 100 -y 100 --format=tiff > /tmp/scanBabyscan.tiff

$ file /tmp/test.tiff

 /tmp/test.tiff: TIFF image data, big-endian

# ll /tmp/test.tiff
