that scanner has no connection with the net, so they said.

but i have solved: i installed again the package i found in 
http://www.sane-project.org/snapshots/
following the instructions: with no root privilege for ./configure and 
make, and make install as root.

the first time i had done all as root.

scanimage -L
device `pixma:04A91912_43C82A' is a CANON CanoScan LiDE 400 
multi-function peripheral

scanimage -V
scanimage (sane-backends) 1.0.30-914-g8bdd27d14; backend version 1.0.30

thanks all
