2.6.10 won't find my scanner

I've added GIMP 2.6.10 to my new Win7 machine and can't get it to see my Canon
multifunction scanner. I use the same scanner through GIMP 2.4 on my XP
machine.

File/Create/Scanner or Camera shows my webcam but not the scanner. The TWAIN
plugin is there.

I vaguely remember having to do something to tell GIMP to find the scanner,
but can't find this in 2.6 or the on-line help.

How do I get GIMP to see the Canon MFC-4360 scanner?

Thanks!

A facebook page, could be great too! (about 14 hours ago in GIMP gets closer to the community with Google+!)

Is GIMP an adequate application for you to create printed graphics like flyers, advertisments etc?
