My advice would be to read here:
https://github.com/alexpevzner/sane-airscan
sane-airscan is shipped on bullseye and in backports on buster. ipp-usb
is the default on bullseye (see its Release Notes), but it will have to
be obtained from the above link on buster and have "interface = all" put
in /etc/ipp-usb/ipp-usb.conf.
Xsane and simple-scan now become usable. sane-airscan is much better than
anything provided ny Canon.
