Welcome to the club!!
I have same issues.
See my post in http://macosg.com/group/viewtopic.php?p=44798#44798
If I get anything I'll post if here.

I called Canon about this and here is their email reply (not too helpful):
"Thank you for contacting our office earlier today.
When you contacted our office you indicated you were experiencing
instability issues when attempting to scan from your CanoScan 9950F on
Macintosh OS 10.4.
The IEEE 1394 connectivity on the CanoScan 9950F has been tested on our G4 system installed with OS 10.4.2. Based the testing performed, we are
unable to duplicate the conditions you have encountered. As such it is
possible this condition may be specific your hardware configuration. As a
troubleshooting measure I would like to suggest testing your scanner on a
second computer." [nice thought but I don't have a second G5]
