Canon MP560 Scanner in Ubuntu

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1264928&page=3

Install Canon MP560 ScanGear
http://software.canon-europe.com/products/0010756.asp
$ cd scangearmp-mp560series-1.40-1-i386-deb
$ vi ./install.sh   # add sudo dpkg --force-architecture -i
$ sudo ./install.sh
$ scangearmp
scangearmp: error while loading shared libraries: libgimp-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Install Gimp lib32 libraries
$ wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/g/gimp/libgimp2.0_2.6.7-1ubuntu1_i386.deb
$ mkdir libgimp2.0_2.6.7-1ubuntu1_i386
$ dpkg -x libgimp2.0_2.6.7-1ubuntu1_i386.deb libgimp2.0_2.6.7-1ubuntu1_i386
$ cd libgimp2.0_2.6.7-1ubuntu1_i386/
$ sudo cp usr/lib/libgimp* /usr/lib32/

And if all else fails, you can still scan images to a USB stick!
