Hello,

see
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=177492
"let SANE driver "canon" do scanner auto-recognition"

Therefore I apply the following patch:

+# canon.conf

+# Activate exactly one of the following choices:
+#

+scsi
+#
+# Probe for "CANON" on all /dev/sg* devices:
+#scsi CANON
+#
+# Probe only on one fixed device:
 #/dev/sg0
-------------------------------------------------------------------

At least I didn't get any problem report since I have it by default
in our sane-backends package - i.e. our /etc/sane.d/canon.conf is
-------------------------------------------------------------------
# canon.conf
#
# Activate exactly one of the following choices:
