How to scan using Canon MF3010 in Debian

Question

Recently I bought a Canon MF3010 All in one printer. I got the printing to work after installing the drivers from Canon's website and adding it in CUPS.

How ever I am unable to make use of the scanner.

I tried SANE

Output of sane-find-scanner :

   # sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the
  # result is different from what you expected, first make sure your
  # scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer.

  # No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that
  # you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.

found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9, product=0x2759) at libusb:002:012
found USB scanner (vendor=0x19d2, product=0x2003) at libusb:002:008
  # Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by
  # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.

  # Not checking for parallel port scanners.

  # Most Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports
  # can't be detected by this program.

  # You may want to run this program as root to find all devices. Once you
  # found the scanner devices, be sure to adjust access permissions as
  # necessary.

It seems to identify it but when I run scanimage -L i get:

device `v4l:/dev/video0' is a Noname CNF9055 virtual device

which is my webcam.

My lsusb gives:

Can someone please help me with this.

You will need to install a driver for the scanner. What Canon offers on its web site is labelled as a printer driver but it isn't clear whether it contains a scanner driver as well, since that is a function of that printer: http://www.usa.canon.com/nw3s/CanonUSA/DownloadContents/English/0100344001EN.htm

If that doesn't include a scanner driver, here is a third party link offering a driver (I'm not familiar with it so I can't comment on it): http://www.driverlook.com/canon-imageclass-mf3010-laser-multifunction-printer-driver-windows-linux-mac-osx/

If the scanner is not recognized after you install the driver, reboot. If it still is not recognized, verify that you are a member of the scanner group.
