Try installing newest SANE. Yours is more than 2 years old and does
not correspond with the online databases anymore.
If you distribution does not have it (yet) use these instructions to
install into a non-conflicting location /usr/local :

cd ~/src (<-or whereever you want to do your work with CVS SANE)
git clone git://git.debian.org/sane/sane-backends.git

cd sane-backends
autoconf
automake
BACKENDS=pixma ./configure
make
sudo make install  (<-you need to be root for this step)

Depending on your system, there may be some flags that need to be set.
Note the BACKENDS environment variable to specify you only want to
compile the Canon PIXMA backend, not all of them.
