Greetings all,
I just bought this AIO Canon. It has both USB and Network, and I have
it on the network. So far it's been doing what I need, but I have to
use a Windows VM to talk to the scanner. I've captured network
packets when using the windows VM, and it appears to be using ports
8510/8512. If I use the SANE Pixma configuration file to talk to it,
I can see it sending packets over the network to the printer, but it
fails to ID the printer.
Does the following command find your printer on a network?
avahi-browse -rt _uscans._tcp
Is there something else I need to configure for this, because it wasn't
detected.
If yes (which is very likely), it means your device supports eSCL
protocol.
At this case you may either use sane-escl driver, included into SANE,
or sane-airscan driver, not (yet?) included into SANE:

For sane-airscan, binary packages for many popular distroc available
here:
https://software.opensuse.org//download.html?project=home%3Apzz&package=sane-airscan
bInterfaceClass 7
bInterfaceSubClass 1
bInterfaceProtocol 4
You printer also supports IPP-over-USB, so with a help of additional
software it can be connected to USB but used as if was connected to
the network. I can tell you more details, if you are interested.
