Interesting pointer.

Canon has issued a new version of their printing driver (3.30), that
includes now a network backend (cnijnet) additionally to the classic usb
(cnijusb) 
Also, the scangear package seems to include code for network scanners
too. 
Try to run scangear (or scangearmp), this is the main frontend provided
by Canon for scanning.

This Linux software from Canon is developed by the Canon-asia teams, and
each worldwide Canon region is autonomous to propose its own product
lines and support. That's why you might find this Canon Linux software
on the Asian or European site, but not the US one.
