Hi All,
How do I configure a scanner for xsane?
I am printing to the Canon MG6150, but it is not being recognized as a scanner.
Yours Sincerely 
Stephen Grant Brown

Should probably be supported by this:

https://manpages.debian.org/stretch/libsane-common/sane-pixma.5.en.html#FILES

You'll need to put the IP in /etc/sane.d/pixma.conf as described in that 
section, eg. bjnp://<ipaddr>

For my MG3250 it sometimes gives an error trying to connect the first time, but 
it wakes the scanner parts and it works the second time.

Regards

Use su or sudo.

BTW, altering pixma.conf will do nothing for a machine connected by USB.
