Thanks for the reply! Yes, you're right (of course). It must have been SANE that I tried all those years ago. Someone else suggested SANE + XSANE and suggested a page where I could check for a driver (h-node) (or compatibility): https://h-node.org/scanners/catalogue/en/1/1/Canon- Inc./undef/undef/undef/compatibility/undef I checked / searched there -- no listing for the CanoScan LIDE 700F or anything close to it (I tried a variety of search terms). (A few CanoScans, but nothing that looked close to the LIDE 700F (based on model numbers).) I'll look into simple-scan.
