Addendum.  I tried Image Capture with my Epson three in one on Intel chipset.   I don't think that Image Capture is designed to work with  a scanner to print directly or automatically.  It makes a scan and places the file on your hard disk for printing from a different application.  I also ran into problems with Image Capture telling me that there was no document loaded.  I had to set whether the document was on the flatbed or in the document feeder.  I hope this helps.,

Also, you might want to check /Library/Image Capture/TWAIN Data Sources to see if the is an entry for Canon.
