Hi,I have also had problems with my Canon MF4770N and Rolf has been kind enough 
to assist in the past although it has become increasingly apparent that he is 
really busy with other things.
It still doesn't work and it is something that I would like to rectify.
I do have the skills to get to the bottom of it, but I also don't have much 
time to devote to it but it is on my TODO list sort out.For my scanner, some of 
the setting combinations don't work very well or sometimes put the machine in a 
hardware failure state resulting in my having to power cycle it, most likely 
the result of a timing issue or an illegal combination of options. So there is 
clearly much work to be done. :(
Having gained experience with that I might be able to help with other models. I 
have a feeling that once one is fixed, a number of other models will be pretty 
much the same. Companies like Canon tend to output lots of models that are 
pretty much the same inside and it wouldn't surprise me to discover that 
solving the problem with one would solve the problem with many.
When ADF scanning fails on my multi function then I suspect that sane and the 
scanner are out-of-sync, a situation which is difficult to recover from without 
some kind of reset of the scanner itself. Sane thinks that the scanner has 
reported an error and aborts whereas the scanner is waiting for instructions to 
continue the scan from sane. 

I will try to put some time aside to deal with this over the next few days but 
I cannot give any guarantees however.
Cheers,Ralph Little
