I think this is more an 'rules' thing. In post #18 I said that I did not
know what made it work but it did. I think it is because I downloaded
and installed Scangear from Canon's website. I did this to test the
printer and after that I removed the package again. However, it left a
'rules' files behind in /etc/udev/rules.d/ I cannot upload the file
because my internet is to slow :(
Anyway, you can create your own:
Open a text editor (kate or gedit)
Note that you'll need root permissions so open gedit or kate in a terminal like
this: sudo gedit (or kate).
And paste the following lines:
# 80-canon_mfp2.rules
ACTION!="add", GOTO="canon_mfp_end"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", GOTO="canon_mfp_start"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", GOTO="canon_mfp_start"
GOTO="canon_mfp_end"
LABEL="canon_mfp_start"

Save the file as 80-canon_mfp2.rules under /etc/udev/rules.d/
I am not sure whether this works but you can always remove the file again. You
can, of course, also download and install the Scangear package yourself.

Title:
saned.service masked and cannot be unmasked
Status in sane-backends package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
After upgrading to 16.04 (from 14.04) I noticed the sane daemon (sane-
utils 1.0.25+git20150528-1ubuntu2) was no longer running. Attempting
to manually start it results in systems complaining that the service
is masked:
kjetil at lucien in ~> sudo systemctl start saned
Failed to start saned.service: Unit saned.service is masked.
Unmasking it does not work:
kjetil at lucien in ~> sudo systemctl unmask saned
kjetil at lucien in ~> sudo systemctl start saned
Failed to start saned.service: Unit saned.service is masked.
kjetil at lucien in ~> ps u -C saned
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
