I have tried EVERY "fix it" I've found on Google and nothing is working. I've changed my computer to Power Saver battery option -- didn't work. Changed the suspension on the USB port...didn't work. Yes, I'm using a 3.0 USB port on a Dell Inspiron 17 5000 series laptop. I have Windows 10 and I think that's the #1 problem --- Windows 10.

I've installed two different drivers that's supposed to work... didn't. I've installed it via the CD-ROM, didn't work...uninstalled and re-installed via the website... didn't work. Nothing is working.

Should I just return the scanner and go with a different brand of product? I already have trouble with my Canon MG3500 series printer so.. I should have known better than to buy a Canon portable scanner.

Since the LiDE 400 uses the USB connection both for communication and for power, try plugging in the laptop to external power when using the scanner. Usage of the USB connection when running on battery power can reduce the electricity (and thus also the USB signal strength).

My problem is slightly different in that I am not using a laptop and so your suggestion is of no help to me. Also it was working fine for months and I was in the middle of scanning and it just stopped.

I finally returned my LiDE 400. Hoping they fulfill a refund. It just absolutely was not compatible with Windows 10, no matter what they said. I even posted a review telling others with Windows 10 to steer clear of the product and of course, they deleted it. I've had it with Canon.. the customer service has been horrendous, the products are getting worse as years go by.

Some of the LiDE 400 devices had the scan bar installed backwards and were not caught before they left the manufacturer.

if you plug it in and when it finishes warming up, the scan bar is at the tail end (where the usb connects) this is what the problem is

Return it for exchange if you can or call support and if you still have reciept they will ship a replacement.

same problem here with my LiDE 300: the scan bar at rest is not at the button end but at the tail. I wonder if Canon could confirm this is part of a defective batch and return is for free, even if past the warranty.

I had the same problem and after some experimentation found that uninstalling all the scanning software and drivers and then reinstalling after a reboot my scanner started working again. Hope this helps someone

I have a scanner with the scan bar at the tail end. When I plug it in, the scan bar moves to the front, flashes when going back 1 inch, and then returns to the previous position (tail end). I don't have a warranty on this one and would appreciate any hints. Thanks.

Kindly point out in very simple terms how to install and setup the above scanner on the version of Ubuntu given. Imagine I'm totally retarded in your detailed & thorough working "How To" explanation. Much appreciated.

So, I ditched that in favour of Manjaro KDE where similar issues occurred with my Scanner plus all my Audio is screwed up no matter how I changed the settings according to online help posts. Out of frustration I changed yet again to the Manjaro Gnome variant where everything works fine "out-the-box".

I'm still considering building a system where Debian is alongside Arch and instead of "Distro-Hopping", merely change the settings in Arch or Debian with the tools available to make the unique version tailored to specific need.

Not long ago, I myself bought a Canon scanner Lide 300. The driver installation for Lide 400 include the same steps.In my first attempt to install the Linux drivers for my Canon scanner, I failed miserably multiple times. But the scanner worked flawlessly with Windows driver. Over the short period of time, trying and failing, I finally found a way to make the scanner work with Linux.This is my quick guide, how to make the scanner work with Linux system(I tested it on Ubuntu 18.04)! Please, just follow the steps. Should one of the steps not work, try to do the troubleshooting suggestions.DO NOT continue with the next step, until the previous one is working.

Now, you can run the command lsusb in your terminal and should see theoutput of the lsusb. The yellow framed output line shows the scanner connection. By inserting the bus and device number specific to your system, you can make the request about the permission settings for the particular connection. For example, in my case the bus ID is 001 and device ID is 002. The resulting command line is based on informations about my system is:

Remember to use your own connection specifications for the request!!!The output of the command will show you the group, you have to join as a user. In my case, it is the group lp, so I join the saned group(scanner management group) and lp.

The suggestion from markling to use the repository(Install Canon LiDE 300 / 400 on Ubuntu 18.04) worked for me. However, the compilation and installation of the latest sane is in my opinion the cleaner solution.

After the installation, you should be able to identify your scanner. The output of scanimage -L should look like that. If you ran scanimage -V, you will get the information about the sane backend version. In my case, by compiling the newest version, the backend status changed from 1.0.27 to 1.0.29.

Ubuntu and other Linux distributions use SANE as a back-end to communicate with scanners. Ubuntu 18.04 has an older version of SANE that does not support the CanoScan LiDE 400 yet, but you can use a repository created by Rolf Bensch to easily install the latest release which does support that scanner:

It should update the existing SANE version. After a quick reboot the Simple Scan program that comes with Ubuntu was able to use the scanner. I installed gscan2pdf to create PDF documents from the scanner.
