   I'm stuck with the same problem, the excellent Canon 8400F scanner.   
   But I see the OS just as part of the solution/problem and dual boot with    
   Windows.   
      
   Canon is a company that has an outspoken anti-Linux policy.   
   They have numerous times been asked to support the development of    
   drivers but are not willing to help.   
      
   As a result hardly any Canon scanners work in Linux, next time better    
   vote with your money and spend it on a brand with more clue.   
   Sorry...
