Thank you very much for replying so promptly, Alan. I checked the Canon site from which I downloaded the 2 scanner rpms, but it shows nothing more recent than the 2 rpms I downloaded. They're both dated March 2007. I guess I'll have to settle for 2 out of 3 functions.

That message indicates the programs from Canon are out-of-date. Earlier kernels would accept the error condition described by the log message, but current ones do not.
