OK. The machine had since updated to 3.13.0-76-generic but still had the
problem with the scanner not being detected over wifi by scangearmp.

As per the instructions at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds#Preparing_to_install_an_upstream_kernel
I switched from the proprietary NVidia binary driver (v340.96 for
GeForce GT430) to the open source X.Org X server Nouveau driver.

I rebooted then installed the upstream kernel v4.5-rc1-wily from 
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.5-rc1-wily/
These were the files I used:
linux-headers-4.5.0-040500rc1_4.5.0-040500rc1.201601241731_all.deb
linux-headers-4.5.0-040500rc1-generic_4.5.0-040500rc1.201601241731_amd64.deb
linux-image-4.5.0-040500rc1-generic_4.5.0-040500rc1.201601241731_amd64.deb

I rebooted into it from the GRUB menu. scangearmp *was* then able to
find my Canon MG7150 scanner over wifi.  So it's fixed in the upstream
kernel and I've added the tags you requested.
