Don't connect the printer to the scanner. That breaks the driver. If you
can't use a seperate port for each, get a cheap switchbox from somewhere
(or just unplug the printer each time).

To run xsane, just enter "xsane canon_pp". If that says "no scanner
detected" it probably means you didn't install the SANE-backends-1.0.7
patch properly.

Does that help?
