DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.10 No joy, but signs of life:
$ scanimage -L device `pixma:04A91908' is a CANON Canoscan 9000F multi-function peripheral Looks promising. but sane-find-scanner fails to find it, even as root: # sane-find-scanner # sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the # result is different from what you expected, first make sure your # scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer. # No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that # you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter. # No USB scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that # you have loaded a kernel driver for your USB host controller and have setup # the USB system correctly. See man sane-usb for details. # Not checking for parallel port scanners. # Most Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports # can't be detected by this program. xsane's says "Canonscan 9000F:04A91908" in its header. But clicking xsane "Scan" results in a pop-up: (X) Error during read: Error during device I/O." tested xsane as root to see if it was permission, but fails the same way. Tried simple-scan, but it says "(-) Failed to scan, Error communicating with scanner" and gives a button for "Change Scanner", which does show the Scan Source: CANON Canoscan 9000F. So it is detected, but talking to it fails...
