1) First check System info to see if USB scanner/printer is even listed there. USB devices do not always get listed properly in OS installation. You will probably have to fix this issue first if that's what it is.
2) Also open Synaptic and check to see if: libsane & libsane-common 1.0.25+git20150528-1 are installed. If they are not there install them and the dependencies from Synaptic. If they are there and your printer scanner still does not work you can try to install sane genesys.5 from here: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/wily...sys.5.html, which is known to work with Canoscan 220 in Ubuntu, but not simple to work with given that you have newer Xsane already. Canon stuff is of course semi-proprietary. I am not sure if the older genesys.5 backend will work properly with Xsane. Perhaps someone else here knows.
3) There is an older backend available from Debian but it no longer works with Xsane. I may be leading you into more difficulty with that proposition anyway. My bad. Too much going on today. Scrounge around the Ubuntu forums and manuals for more information. I suspect the problem is resolved, because it did not become a problem until Ubuntu began dropping older support libraries.
