Ubuntu – Problem with CanoScan Lide 20 not working in ubuntu 14.10

canonsanescanner

I have a few weeks a new desktop PCs with Intel i5 processor with 8.1 installed dual boot windows and ubuntu 14:10 64 bits.
My old pc and also in my notebook with ubuntu 14.04 were connected to the scanner Canon CanoScan LiDE 20 via usb and managed to acquire documents.
Instead the new PC can not get it.
If I type lsusb from terminal I get:

I installed the software, and pay for it $ 29.90, vuescan, and this works perfectly. Simple scan, xsane, skanlite, they can not find the scanner, it seems to be a problem for sane.
