Well, I am digging into the documentation, I might get to the wiki, or I might keep pursuing Windows ...
The list of SANE: Supported Devices at: http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html#Z-CANON
Says there is good support for the CanoScan 700F but does not list support at all for the CanoScan LiDE 700F (but does have separate listing for several other models differentiated by LiDE, e.g. CanoScan 600 vs. CanoScan LiDE 600 (I'm guessing about 10 different models like this).
I vaguely remember / suspect this is what I ran into last time I tried this. I will do a little more reading, I don't know what the LiDE indicates...
