WS=> I have a Canon Lide 110 and it works well with Simple Scan.  The 
problem
      is that the color was slightly off when using Simple Scan.  I am 
now using
      XSane and now the colors are right.  The colors were not right 
immediately
      but the XSane program allows color adjustments and now they are 
correct.

     XSane is more complicated than Simple scan but everything works! 
Maybe
     your friend should try to see if XSane will work.
