On my Ubuntu 16.04 I checked the status of saned:

$ sudo service saned status
saned.service
Loaded: masked (/dev/null; bad)
Active: inactive (dead)

I have done this:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rolfbensch/sane-release
sudo apt-get update

And it's still not working!

What should I do?

I do not have Canon scanner.

On SANE page it is listed as Untested and supported by sane-pixma driver.

You can consult ArchLinux wiki for accessing it.

Scanning over the network with Canon Pixma all-in-one printer/scanners

Find out your printer/scanner's IP address, and add it on a new line to /etc/sane.d/pixma.conf in the format bjnp://10.0.0.20.

Sane should now find your device. For more details refer to sane-pixma(5).

Alternative: for some Canon Pixma all-in-one printer/scanners, which are not detected over network, can be used scangearmp package from AUR.

All you need is libsane package and man sane-pixma. Not sure about scangearamp.
