My call to cpan was wrong, and that caused this strange junoscript install. If you work in the cpan shell (by calling cpan without arguments on the shell), install is the keyword for installing a module (like install Acme::DonMartin), but if you use cpan the way I did on the command line install is no keyword anymore, but it is interpreted as a module. And junoscript-perl contains an "install" module. So from the command line you have to call cpan like "cpan Acme::DonMartin". Really strange, but in some way very perlish (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TMTOWTDI" rel="nofollow">TMTOWTDI</a>) ;-) But beyond don't trust your friends in this. Cpan is very cool, just like apt-get is for debian/ubuntu. Of course not for the average user, but installing backup-manager with the s3 upload method is not was the average user wants, right? Just follow cpan and install the dependencies for libxml as suggested. Tell me if you run into any errors. Neal: Regarding the junoscript install.

I just don’t know how to thank you, after looking at post for days about how to get my Canon LiDE 60 working I had just about given up on having a scanner on Ubuntu.

Then I found your URL in a post and said I might as well try one more time.

Yes with your wonderful help I now have a scanner working with sane.

Thank you - Thank you soooo much.

dll.conf refernces the driver specific *.conf files in /etc/sane.d/. So you need a genesys.conf with the following:

# Canon LiDE 60
usb 0x04a9 0x221c

and refernce this file with the line:

genesys

in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf.

The udev rule should be added to the file /etc/udev/rules.d/45-libsane.rules (it should be there, if not, create it) and look like this:

# Canon CanoScan LiDE 60
SYSFS{idVendor}=="04a9", SYSFS{idProduct}=="221c", MODE="664", GROUP="scanner"

Best, Michael

I did not see a genesys driver in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf. What does it look like ?

I created a genesys.conf file in
/etc/sane.d/ and added
# Canon LiDE 60 usb 0×04a9 0×221c

looking in the /etc/udev/rules.d/ Directory I only found the following files.

020permissions.rules udev.rules z60alsa-utils.rules

My question is which file do you think I should add the line
# Canon Inc.|LIDE 60 SYSFS{idVendor}==”04a9″, SYSFS{idProduct}==”221c”, MODE=”664″, GROUP=”scanner”

??

any help would be appreciated

In libsane.rules, I suggest adding NAME="bus/usb/005/scanner0" (or whatever name you like in the last component; e.g. NAME="bus/usb/005/Canon_LiDE60" also works), to the line you mentioned. This will provide a persistent device name for this scanner, which helps the scanning applications, e.g. xsane or kooka. Thanks, this was helpful. In libsane.rules, I suggest adding
