This scanner is supported according to the SANE page, but doesn't work on my up-to-date C7 system (updated 20 minutes ago). The Canon web site is as expected - as useful as a chocolate tea pot.

Has anyone managed to get this to run, and if so can you share the secret please.

When my Canon scanner didn't work with Centos due to an outdated sane version, I just downloaded the latest source rpm from Fedora whatever-it-was-at-the-time, and compiled and installed that version instead.

A similar process may work for you.
