Problems using CanoScan N1220U

Hello,

I've built Gimp 2.2.10 from source on Mac OS 10.4.5. I installed Sane as well. Can't seem to get the USB Canon scanner to function though, even after editing the scanner setup file in the Sane system preferences pane.
In Gimp, the Twain plug-in crashes. Maybe someone has seen this before, if needed I can provide the crash log.
In the console I get an error message stating that the device does not match the specific family name.
This happens in Image Capture as well.
I have 10.3.9 on another drive with Photoshop installed, and the scanner works fine with the Canon supplied driver.
Any suggestions? I suspect perhaps that I missed something during the install, or perhaps there is a conflict, but I'm not sure where to look.
OR

Twain is still a little dodgy on the Mac; I hope to get back to working on this once I get a new scanner to test with. If you can send me the crash log, well no guarantees but it might help. :)

In my earlier testing, the SANE-TWAIN drivers worked more reliably than the manufacturer-provided TWAIN driver, but that was some time ago. What version of the drivers are you running?
