Not good.

I have been told by several authoritative voices that
the problem was a too old libsane. I attempted to correct
this with a download of a more up-to-date libsane, with
the results as above.
Thanks for your message, and suggestions. I hope for more, as I'd
really like to be able to scan. So far, the actual Canon MF4770n
seems like a very well-built piece of equipment. As mentioned,
it prints fine, and it also copies well; of course the copying
is done by pressing buttons on the Canon and doesn't involve
my computer at all.
TIA for further help and suggestions.
