Thanks for the reply!

Yes, you're right (of course).  It must have been SANE that I tried all those 
years ago.  Someone else suggested SANE + XSANE and suggested a page where I 
could check for a driver (h-node) (or compatibility):

https://h-node.org/scanners/catalogue/en/1/1/Canon-
Inc./undef/undef/undef/compatibility/undef

I checked / searched there -- no listing for the CanoScan LIDE 700F or 
anything close to it (I tried a variety of search terms).  (A few CanoScans, 
but nothing that looked close to the LIDE 700F (based on model numbers).)

I'll look into simple-scan.
