Digital camera, printer (both Canon...) Webcam (Logitech) all work instantly and flawlessly in Mint. Only my scanner, a CanoScan 8400F, is not supported, and I learned during research that Canon seems to literally hate Linux (I assume the former two Canon devices run by generic, foreign drivers).

That scanner still is of excellent scanning quality and specialises for photography and photo negatives. It would be pleasant to have it easily available under Linux. Else I would need to do address my scanning needs (happens not often) under Windows, still.

SANE says they have no support for it. Any ideas, Robbin?
