Before you do that, can you help us see what scanner you have? We might just need to enable another driver to support it.
If it’s a USB device, just run lsusb
and paste the line for your scanner.

ID 04a9:190f Canon, Inc. CanoScan LiDE 220
According to SANE: Supported Devices
CanoScan LiDe 220 is supported by sane-projects
.
I don’t have this device so I cannot try this myself. But on other distros you can install packages related to sane
or xsane
. I searched with swupd search-file -l sane
and find that the bundle hardware-printing
contains libraries related to libsane
.
You may try to install sane
according to this guide and see whether you scanner can be recognised.
Correct, the hardware-printing
bundle (also desktop-kde-apps
and digikam
) contains the SANE Genesys backend for this scanner.

Does this mean, that my scanner should work, if I got the relevant bundles installed?
Yes. Please give it a try and let us know how it works
Such kind of recognization errors are quite frequent the users are getting these issues. To recover these troubles can take suggestions from Canon Printer Error Code 5b02 that will be beneficial for them.
Did not work
Can you give us more information, such as what you tried, what happened, any error messages, etc.?
Install Mixer bundle we have rpm.
We can’t use “rpm --install package.rpm” to other software unavailable in Clear Store, the same way we do on Fedora Silverblue (rpm-ostree install package.rpm)?
You can use
rpm2cpio <RPMFILE> | cpio -divm
to extract the rpm files, then copy to a proper location.
The hardware-printing bundle was already installed on my computer. I installed the digicam bundle and did hope that that would make my sane genesys backend work. After plugging in my scanner, I tried, if simple scan is now recognizing the (device) like it used do, when I used other linux distros. Unfortunately that was not the case.
What’s the output of
scanimage -V
scanimage -L
scanimage -V
scanimage (sane-backends) 1.0.27; backend version 1.0.27
scanimage -L
No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
Please try running scanimage -L
as root; there may be a permissions problem.
If that doesn’t help, can you try creating /etc/sane.d/genesys.conf
and adding the following line to it?
usb 0x04a9 0x190f
The genesys
backend may not be automatically searching for supported scanners.

Fix has been implemented; you’ll see that issue updated when the fix is released.
The fix is available in the latest Clear Linux release. Please let us know if you still have problems after updating
A scanner seems to be recognized, but I am not able to start the scanning process. The simple scan connects to Noname Integrated_Webcam_HD. That does not sound like my scanner.
scanimage -L shows the following result…
device v4l:/dev/video2' is a Noname Integrated_Webcam_HD: Integrate virtual device device
v4l:/dev/video0’ is a Noname Integrated_Webcam_HD: Integrate virtual device
Correct, those are built-in webcams. Can you try again as root? There may be a permissions issue for your USB scanner.
