I didn't write the code so I'm not absolutely sure. It looks like only
the devices in canon.conf (or /dev/scanner) is checked. The name on
the command line is only to select one of the devices found (e.g. if
you have more than one Canon scanner). So you must add the device to
the canon.conf file. Fot Unix that's usually no problem because you
just link /dev/scanner to /dev/sg1 (or whatever) and it works.

Looking at all SCSI devices for the vendor string "canon" and opening
it.
