I'm trying to install my multifunction printer on Ubuntu. The printer is ok. But can't make Ubuntu recognize the scanner.
I tried with xsane, but doesn't detect any devices
It's a wireless multifunction, anyone know how?

use the printer- and scanner-driver from cannon!
if you are searching on the cannon-site you only will find a MX477, but there are drivers for the whole MX470-series.
if you don't know how to go on have a look at these instructions:

I've installed those drivers, but still not detecting the scanner. By the way, I'm trying to connect to the scanner via wifi. – Pablo Jun 02 '15 at 17:40

please test first, if it is at least working via USB. if it's not working test several USB-ports (with different controllers). – DJCrashdummy Jun 03 '15 at 06:08
