The fact that a scanner is identified doesn't mean it is supported. For
each new scanner, a new driver needs to be written. I have a Canon D646U,
and the same thing happens. Updated SANE backends are available, but mine
still isn't supported. there is a list of supported scanners on the SANE
Web site.
