Has anyone tried to use one of these scanners in Linux? Did you succeed or
fail?

http://www.sane-project.org/cgi-bin/driver.pl?manu=canon&model=lide&bus=any
shows that the LiDE 20 and 30 are supported, while the 50 and 80 are not.
The 20 and 30 are USB 1 models, while the 50 and 80 are USB 2.0 models.
This suggests that Canon is using a different chipset in its USB 2.0
scanners, that isn't supported yet. The LiDE 35 is a USB 2.0 scanner, so I
suspect it might not work yet in Linux.

Does anyone at least have a device ID number or lspci -v output that they
could share?

Thanks,
Andrew.
