Canon Lide 100 not working

There's no need to use that file.

I agree.


After a lot of searching, I found out that the library is already installed  - I checked for files listed on http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/zest...sys.5.html So, I checked if the scanner works, but no, it didn't.
Then I found this website- https://bdhacker.wordpress.com/2011/04/2...ion-fixes/ and it said(I have bluefish code editor)-

Code:

This portion is copied from the links i mentioned at the end of this article. Open a terminal and paste following:

sudo apt-get install libusb-dev build-essential libsane-dev
sudo apt-get install git-core # Only if you don't have git installed
git clone git://git.debian.org/sane/sane-backends.git
cd sane-backends
cd sane-backends
export BACKENDS="net mustek mustek_usb genesys"
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
make
sudo make install
sudo bluefish /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules

What I did-

Code:

sudo apt-get install libusb-dev build-essential libsane-dev

Then I went to- https://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=san...ckends.git which I found when I googled for git://git.debian.org/sane/sane-backends.git , and downloaded(clicked on snapshot) the master branch(yep, the one with master tag). Extracted(to USER/) and renamed it to sane-backends. Then via terminal I changed directory to sane-backendsvia command -

Code:

cd USER/sane-backends

and then typed in the terminal-

Code:

export BACKENDS="net mustek mustek_usb genesys"
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
make
sudo make install
sudo bluefish /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules

and to my surprise found out that /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules didn't exist in my pc. So, I created 40-libsane.rules in /lib/udev/rules.d/ as root and pasted what he stated-
# Canon CanoScan Lide 100
ATTRS{idVendor}==”04a9″, ATTRS{idProduct}==”1904″, ENV{libsane_matched}=”yes”
still, it doesn't work.

Just for info, When I type in terminal-

Code:

scanimage -L

it returns-
[tt]device `genesys:libusb:001:003' is a Canon LiDE 100 flatbed scanner
[/tt]

A user on https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=101046 said that it works if you type in terminal-

Code:

scanimage -d genesys:libusb:002:004 --format=tiff >image.tiff

I tried typing the same but changing [tt]002:004[/tt] by [tt]001:003[/tt] ( because that's what it showed for [tt]scan-find-scanner[/tt] )

Code:

scanimage -d genesys:libusb:001:003 --format=tiff >image.tiff

, and to my surprise scanner made the sound it does when it scans(yes, it threw green light too). But, I don't know if anything happened, and if it did; don't know where did that file got saved.

Edit: The file got saved! It was in USER/ . But, does that mean I'll have to scan a file via terminal and then edit it, because the image include all the side-space(in black color) too. If there is any way in which I can scan it via GUI(XSane) I'll highly appreciate it. Anyhow, scanner is temporarily working...

Any help is extremely highly appreciated...!

Thanks for helping me and for the time you are giving for me!
