Hi, guys,
I have to scan a document into my computer from a cannon mfc620
multifunction printer. It is wifi connected, and I have also a USB
connection. Xsane says no device connected and exits.
Any help? googling didn't give me anything useful.

It looks as if Sane has support for Canon PIXMA MP620 (you can check out
the sane page at:
http://www.sane-project.org/sane-backends.html).
I have no clue if that is in any way similar to MFC620. I'd guess
not, but that's the only thing shown on that page that is both a Canon
and has the numbers 620 in it.
Traditionally, Canon hasn't been forthcoming with helpful information
for their devices, so you may be lost in that black hole.
if it is connected via USB, you could see if "sane-find-scanner" turns
up anything. (check out its manpage). It is part of the sane-backends
package.
Oh, of course the FIRST question I should have asked is: Has it ever
worked, before, with LInux/SANE ?
good luck!
