I apologize for my ignorance but I thought SANE /was/ the driver or SANE 
used some system driver.
The scanner does work when connected to the same subnetwork as it is 
detected correctly but it cannot be found when connected to a different 
subnetwork.
If I ever installed a driver for the scanner I do not remember doing so 
but I would have downloaded it from the official Canon web site.
I have searched the system hw using hardinfo and other commands like 
lshw but cannot find any mention of a driver that I can identify as 
relating to the scanner.
What can I do to find out?
