Solution 1

The best thing you can do is download the printer driver and scanner driver from the Canon Asia website.

After you downloaded the packages follow the Canon installation guides:

I recomend using the method Installing the ScanGear by specifying the package, since you seem to have trouble with the common package.

Solution 2

Try to download the official tar.gz from canon-asia.com (I had to choose the MP237 instead of the MP230, but that works too) , uncompress it, enter into the recent created directory, and then execute the following command:

sudo ./install.sh

It will install (in order) two packages that are inside the subdirectory 'packages', in first place the "common" package, and in second place the "mp230series" package.

when installing scangear (using scangearmp-mp230series2.0-1-deb) for canon pixma mp230 it stops with
```
 Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: scangearmp-common (>= 2.00),   
```
and scanimage -L responds
```
No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).

  Indeed even if you install the scanner from Canon you won't be able to use simple scan but you will have to use GIMP.
