  • you should give yourself a detailed answer below and mark it as definitive. you could provide a link or other details on the Canon drivers you used. I think they would work in my case, I have a similar problem in this question [here](http://askubuntu.com/q/723592/47206). I have also used Canon drivers for the scanner - scangearmp-common and scangearmp-mg2400series - and the scanner is not seen) –  Jan 25 '16 at 11:40

If you have installed the drivers from Canon, the ScanGear application is there too, and that's all you need.

Run scangearmp. That command can be added into a .desktop file, like so.

It can be run from within Gimp, but scanning is not dependent on that.
