It looks as if Sane has support for Canon PIXMA MP620 (you can check
out
the sane page at:
http://www.sane-project.org/sane-backends.html).
I have no clue if that is in any way similar to MFC620. I'd guess
not, but that's the only thing shown on that page that is both a
Canon
and has the numbers 620 in it.
Traditionally, Canon hasn't been forthcoming with helpful information
for their devices, so you may be lost in that black hole.
if it is connected via USB, you could see if "sane-find-scanner"
turns
up anything. (check out its manpage). It is part of the sane-backends
package.
Oh, of course the FIRST question I should have asked is: Has it ever
worked, before, with LInux/SANE ?
good luck!

I thought sure
I had used it before, but I don't know when or for what.
I have solved the current problem by changing the target idea of how to
access the information, but I would still like to be able to get the
scanner to work.
I have read through the "--help" and the man pages on sane, but
couldn't get any progress.
It would seem really simple to send a command to a scanner and retrieve
at least a bitmap of a document. I guess it is more difficult than
that.
Maybe I'll take a cut at it once I get a windows system in house and
can monitor the exchange.
