Cannot run scanning software

I bought a Canon MP160 printer/copier/scanner to use with my computer running Fedora.

The copier works without the need to install software.

The printer needs software. I was able to download, install and configure 2 rpm packages from Canon, so that printing works perfectly.

Canon also offered 2 rpm packages needed for scanning. I downloaded and installed them. The packages create a plugin for Gimp and also create a standalone application. I tried both methods for scanning, but neither works.

I looked at the output from dmesg and the relevant bit, according to my dim understanding, is as follows:

usb 2-1: usbfs: interface 1 claimed while 'scangearmp' sets config #1

I'd be very grateful to be told how I can overcome the problem described.

Thanks for reading this,

Leslie
