Looking at <http://www.buzzard.org.uk/jonathan/scanners-usb.html> it appears
that Sane itself does not support your scanner. 

What you see from dmesg is the fact that the kernel itself recognizes that the
USB device is a scanner.  However, you'll need Sane to actually use the device.
Apparently, "Canon appears to be unwilling to release the necessary
documentation to enable a Linux driver and SANE backend to be written."

Looking at 
<http://linux.ing.uniroma1.it/pipermail/lugroma/2001-May/005746.html> confirms
this. Hence, I'd take a stab at editing /usr/local/etc/sane.d/canon.conf, and
if that doesn't work, I imagine you're outta luck :(

Sorry,
-jj
