[PLUG] Xsane broke

I use my scanner infrequently. The last time I used it was back in
October. Today I tried to use it and got the error message"
Failed to open device `pixma:MP620_192.168.0.230':
Invalid argument.
Obviously, it's a network attached printer/scanner. I'm not really
surprised that I can ping it, since the IP address is in the error message.
The attempt to use it was with xsane on my Ubuntu MATE 16.04 machine. I
still have my older machine running Ubuntu 14.04. I can successfully run
xsane on it. For who knows what reason, updates have not worked on that
machine for a few months. So I'm guessing that some update on the 16.04
machine broke xsane.
Any ideas where to look for the cause of that problem?
Thanks.
