This did work at first, and I was very excited! However, it worked on a text scan; when
I tried an image scan, it hung for several minutes with the error
"Unable to find colord device airscan:e0:Canon LiDE 300 (USB): property match 'Serial'='sane:airscan:e0:Canon LiDE 300 (USB)' does not exist",
and then after that I was unable to do another text scan--with no error, it just
hung.

xsane works perfectly, whether or specify airscan from the commandline, or
if I just run it bare and then select either the pixma or the eSCL airscan
device from the select box.
