Always great to see successful reports, so thanks!

I see from the log that ADF scanning was a bust.
Unfortunately that is a common experience. There are some variations in 
how ADF scanning works in the protocol.
Some inexplicably return JPEG data when scanning from ADF rather than 
raster data and there are sensor settings to determine paper presence etc.
We might need to get some diag from the pixma backend if you wish to 
pursue that.

Nice clean scans from the flatbed is nice to see.
Perhaps open an issue at 
https://gitlab.com/sane-project/backends/-/issues and we can log more 
easily track progress for this machine.

Did you try network access at all? I understand that some Canon machines 
are not using the pixma protocol for wireless access these days.

Cheers,
Ralph
