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When my Canon scanner didn't work with Centos due to an outdated sane version, I just downloaded the latest source rpm from Fedora whatever-it-was-at-the-time, and compiled and installed that version instead.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.
For what it's worth I use a commercial program called VueScan for old/unsupported scanners. I run it on a Mac but it's also available for Linux and Windows. Might be worth a shot if other avenues don't pan out.

Thanks. I've downloaded the trial version and it works. If I can't get SANE to run it at least concerts a brick into something useable.

on my C7 system:
# yum list installed | grep -y sane libsane-hpaio.x86_64 3.13.7-6.el7_2.1 @updates sane-backends.x86_64 1.0.24-9.el7 @anaconda sane-backends-drivers-scanners.x86_64 1.0.24-9.el7 @anaconda sane-backends-libs.x86_64 1.0.24-9.el7 @anaconda
and my lide 220 works for me. In previous Centos versions, one had to hack at it because they were shipping old versions of Sane that didn't have the right incantations done over them. I think that (as one other poster mentioned) it involved downloading Fedora source RPMs and building them, or some such. but I had to do none of that for C7.

I've seen a suggestion that 1.0.26 is required, hence the Fedora suggestion. BTW, I tried a "brute-force" Fedora install, but the dependency hell soon persuaded me of the error of my ways!
Thanks for your suggestion, Martin

Compile the Fedora source rpm on your Centos system and see what happens. Don't just blindly install the Fedora binary.

Support for the LiDE 220 was added in sane-backends-1.0.25. I suppose you are either using a different scanner or made modifications to your installation.
The original poster probably needs to rebuild using either the C7 SRPM with a drop in 1.0.25 tarball (either remove all patches from the spec file or hand pick those still appropriate) or work from a recent Fedora SRPM.
When building from the C6 SRPM the file /usr/bin/umax_pp has to be added to the SPEC file file list. This might be the case when building from the C7 SRPM also.
Regards, Leonard.
