After using a rather old Canon scanner for many years, I recently
upgraded to the Canon LiDE 300,
and installed the drivers as directed, on a Bullseye system (10.2.0-17).
The printer is recognized:
$ scanimage -L
device `pixma:04A91913_47A8A4' is a CANON CanoScan LiDE 300
multi-function peripheral
device `escl:http://127.0.0.1:60000' is a Canon LiDE 300 (USB) flatbed
scanner
When I run simple-scan, it detects the printer and announces itself
ready to go, but when I try
to scan anything, I get the message "Failed to scan Unable to connect
to scanner". I Googled for
anything related to this; there's a bunch of stuff on Ubuntu and Mint
forums about purging the
"ippusbxd" package, but this isn't on Debian.
I then ran simple-scan with the debug flag, and at the moment I try to
initiate a scan, I got:
[+20.83s] DEBUG: simple-scan.vala:1817: Requesting scan at 150 dpi

I'm not sure what could be going on, as I have a ton of memory on my
system.
I don't know why I tried this, but I then ran simple-scan as root,
and...it worked perfectly.
I'm bewildered by this--any idea what I should be looking at?
If something works as root, but not as a standard user, it's usually
permissions. Is the user a member of the correct groups etc?
