I have this same problem with a Pixma MX712 where it seems to "hang" until a hard restart (pulling the plug) *but, the funny thing
is that Windows Scan on Windows 8 will work even when the Canon software and scanimage, xsane, and simple-scan won't! My Canon is
*only connected via lan so I'll see about capturing what Windows Scan is sending to the scanner against what the Canon software is
so it can be compared.
