Definitely check into a refill kit with the resetter tool - those are pretty handy!
But yeah no worries! 
Sorry I was late to the Party - surprised no-one before @PlumpKibbles had spotted the hp-lip error!
Have you also downloaded the Scanner driver for the Canon?

Oh yeah, linked that ScanGear driver - turned out to be cartridge status related. Apparently, Canon locks their scanning feature out when the carts are low / emtpy 
that's lame.. But, there's a way to disable the checking - seems like new carts are on the rise though haha
I linked some info on the resetting tool out there, I think normally comes with the kit to refill with. The new stuff has chips in the carts now that will prevent further use after a level drop in ink. But, the refill kits come with a chip resetter tool (I think that's pretty neat) to blank the chip and refill. Just an option though, I know carts are expensive sometimes!
I usually go through 2 sets a year. The main colours are about £50-£60 and then I have to purchase the 'thick' black ink tank and 'photo blue' ink separately at about £15 each.
I wonder if using Vuescan would circumvent the issue as it uses its own method of scanning, may be wrong.

Haven't had a printer for a while... but yeah, it was always a PITA to get new carts and all - then if not used they dry up and wither 
Toner is the way to go lol but that's even more, sometimes.
That may - there has to be something that disregards the tank status and just scans

My suggestion might work, bearing in mind the demo is free but not the app.
and no guarantees.
