However, the Scangearmp driver from Canon should work. But it's not enough to install the DEBs just by clicking on them.

I have made two PETs for you. The forum no longer allows them to be hosted, so here are the download links.

scangearmp_common-2.0.pet
scangearmp_mp230series-2.00.pet

Use the smaller DOWNLOAD button on the left.

Please report back.
hi! i'm a Puppy newb here... i'd like to request a reupload of the 230 series pet (link's already dead)... thanks in advance!

Please see the instructions in the main post for installing the scanner driver yourself using the candi tool.

It also requires the scangearmp_common-2.0.pet from the previous page.
can't get ?

Please read again my posts rcrsn51

I also note that the amd64 package for scangearmp is for 64bit machines and the one to use for 32bit machines is thescangearmp i386 .deb however when run this 32 bit package gives this error

Code: Select all

# scangearmp
scangearmp: error while loading shared libraries: libcncpmsui.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
# 

So that file is not available in the PPM
Why is it always yours that don't run? I know you try to help but frequently it just becomes a confused mess. That program does not run in the "gimp" we get as a .sfs file either so where do I get the right "libcncpmsui.so" and what will be needed after that?

...and what is wrong with your download site? It gives some and says it does not have others . They seem to be deleting files that are not used frequently so you need a better storage site .Try the
mega.nz site I suggested 50 Gig of encoded storage free and the link and key can be put here for everyone or kept private and secure for you only.

Stranger and stranger
That .so file is in usr/lib

So what in fact does "candi" do? Is there some source code for that?

The cannon scanner I got working but peasyscan and sane dont find the scanner? Once you put the cannon program in the right place for gimp,the plug-ins , it works from there too

Guess were going to have the stubborn head in the sand approach again . You did this last time on the rtl8192 driver issue that didn't work and before that too....

So I have asked questions about what you are doing and you refuse to reply. now . Don't want anyone looking too closely at shoddy , sloppy work maybe?

Crude and unwarranted demands aside, try the symlink bit here.

You'll have a real file, "libcncpmsui.so.1.1.0" perhaps.. Create the symlink and reload.
What will be needed after that?

Code: Select all

ldd /path_to_scangearmp

Hey semme . Yes I am a bit harsh on him I think but he gets the shits and goes away for days to cool down . One of those days where things just don't work for me . Apologies rcrsn51


That link is there,but I have "scangearMP" working fine now but peasyscan and sane do not detect the scanner at all . Thats my only remaining question. Oh and I would like to know what candi and dandi do just to be sure I am not installing spyware.?

This is all explained on the main page.

I installed the MG2560 myself using candi and it worked correctly.
