    The devicename should be something like canon:b2t2l0 . This way you
    should get the specific help for the canon backend.

    There it is.

    You want to open the SANE device "" with the backend "canon". I'm
    quite sure that "" doesn't exist. Further more you request to scan
    with standard options and output the scan data to stdout (the
    console). You should redirect stdout to a file. With Unix that would
    be something like: "scanimage -d canon:b2t2l0 >image.pnm".

    So the scanner was found by sane_init.

    Now canon tries to open the scanner "". sane_open requires the name of
    the device (usually the device file: b2t2l0 in this case).

    Use the correct device name (see also manpage of scanimage).
