I can tell you the opposite of what you are asking.... DO NOT BUY A SCANNER
FROM CANON if you want it to work.  I know people are working on reverse
engineering the Canon scanner USB protocol, but Canon don't support the
effort, don't provide documentation on how to drive the scanners etc.  I
know they have basic alpha level drivers working, but it's real bleeding
edge stuff.

Cheers
Michael
