This seems to indicate that you could use

usb /dev/ugen0

in your SANE config file.

The normal procedure is to submit a bug report with send-pr, preferably 
with patches.  It should be enough to submit the information shown 
above.

I have 6.0 (strongly suggest you upgrade) and don't have that scanner. 
You should be able to add a line to the Canon section of usbdevs:

product CANON LIDE60		0x221c  CanoScan LiDE60

and then add this line to the Canon section of uscanner.c:

{{ USB_VENDOR_CANON, USB_PRODUCT_CANON_LIDE60 }, 0 },

Then rebuild (make, make install).  Probably need to -HUP usbd, also.
