Should probably be supported by this:

https://manpages.debian.org/stretch/libsane-common/sane-pixma.5.en.html#FILES

You'll need to put the IP in /etc/sane.d/pixma.conf as described in that 
section, eg. bjnp://<ipaddr>

For my MG3250 it sometimes gives an error trying to connect the first time, but 
it wakes the scanner parts and it works the second time.

Regards

Hi All,
How do I get root privileges to  modify /etc/sane.d/pixma.conf?
Yours Sincerely 
Stephen Grant Brown
