Good to know that it works.
Enjoy your working scanner. :-)

forgot to mention that there is also the file-release:

[sane-devel] Problem with Epson Stylus SX525WD

Dear Torfinn,

thanks for your answer! I tried to access the scanner via the network --
and it worked! Really strange, yet it works. :)

Best regards,
Robin

[sane-devel] Scanner Button Daemon [scanbd]: release 1.2.1

[Wilhelm]

Hi all,

I just put the latest bug-fixes into the release 1.2.1. As usual check 
out at SF:

svn co https://scanbd.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/scanbd/releases/1.2.1

[
scanbd is a scanner button daemon. It polls the scanner buttons looking
for buttons pressed or function knob changes or other scanner events  as 
paper inserts / removals and at the same time allows
also scan-applications to access the scanners. If buttons are pressed,
etc., various actions can be submitted (scan, copy, email, ...) via 
action scripts. The function knob values are passed to the 
action-scripts as well. Scan actions are also signaled via dbus. This 
can be useful for foreign applications. Scans can also be triggered via 
dbus from foreign applications.
On platforms which support signaling of dynamic device insertion / 
removal (libudev, dbus, hal) scanbd supports this as well.
scanbd can use all sane-backends or some special backends from the (old) 
scanbuttond project.
Supported platforms: Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD

I'll assume from the above that you have the SANE packages installed correctly.

This is totally  unrelated.
Either you are going to use SANE, or you are going to use the Canon
driver for scanning, you have to decide.

For a start, decide if you want to use the Canon driver or SANE driver.
If you want to use the Canon driver, you'll have to go somewhere else
for support.
If you decide to use SANE, then get rid of the Canon driver, read
man-pixma to understand how to set debugging, and then with the device
attached via USB use the command line sane-find-scanner with debug set
to whatever level is reqired to see if the pixma backend sees the
scanner.
Once it is established whether or not the pixma backend from the SANE
packages you have currently installed actualy detects the scanner,
then it will be possible to start debugging the functionality.
