How can I get my All.in.one Canon MG2520 scanner to work?
I have a Canon MG2520 All in one printer/scanner. The printer is working fine. But I can not use the scanner. What can I do? Running XUbuntu 14.04 LTS.
I am getting an error message that seems to indicate it is a driver issue. If so, how do I go about installing a driver for this scanner?

Try installing the SANE scanner frontend: sudo apt-get install xsane. Some Canon scanners are supported.
Alternatively, you could use Canon's own suite called ScanGearMP, which you can find here. The U.S. support site of Canon doesn't offer this package, but I found it on the Swiss site.
Download and install the deb file. It doesn't come with an application launcher, so you could create one yourself. Mine looks like this:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Canon ScanGearMP
Exec=/usr/bin/scangearmp
Icon=scanner
Terminal=false
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true
Categories=Graphics
Save it as scangearmp.desktop in /usr/share/applications/, if you want to enable all users of your computer to use it. If you don't have root access or are the only user, you can use ~/.local/share/applications/ instead.
