Hi Carl,

Your scanner was working before you installed Canon's printer driver and
ist working again after deinstalling the printer driver, right?

If I remember correctly there should be an old thread handling this
issue. Please ask the mailing list if you cannot find it. Sorry, I
cannot help here.

Maybe Ethernet could also fix this issue. Please read 'man sane-pixma'
for details. If this won't help, please ask the mailing list helping
with Ethernet.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Rolf
