I've been trying to get the Canon Pixma G2000 to work with Ubuntu 16.04.

I tried:

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.

could not fetch string descriptor: Pipe error

found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9 [Canon], product=0x1795 [G2000 series]) at

  # Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be
supported by
  # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.
  # Not checking for parallel port scanners.
  # Most Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports
  # can't be detected by this program.

On trying scanimage -L:
No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).

The printing function is working with gutenprint. If only scanning too
worked, I could finally get Windows off the partition!

Could anyone tell me if it's possible to tweak up support for this printer?
I can provide logs for anything needed. It's a simple flatbed usb scanner
on a multifunction printer.
