Enabling Support For Canon LiDE 3000F on Ubuntu 12.04

[Amichai Rotman]

As I  understand it, if XSane recognizes the scanner, it should work with
all scanning applications, because they all use the libsaned...

I admit I did not try it with XSane. I will.

Don't I have to add a line to the saned rules file I have mentioned?   It
says the file is automatically generated by a saned description file (.desc)

Amichai.
