  ... not to write to Canon means giving up!

  But perhaps we should clarify our position first:
  - Have other scanner manufacturers revealed their vendor-specific
  scanner commands? If yes, mention this to Canon as a good example.
  - The poor guy at Canon is probably worrying about the costs of
  developing a new driver, knowing what it cost Canon to do it for
  the various Windows dialects.
  Does he know that things might be easier under Unix?
  - Have you ever thought of setting up a trademark "SANE compatible"
  and award that to scanners whose manufacturers are cooperative?
  Sincerely yours,
