Hi,
I have Canon LiDE 120 scanner (works fine on win7)
Today I tried it for the first time on Mint (18.2 64)
with simple scan = black pages, loads for a while, and the light of the scanner is green. I changed the USB ports the result is the same.
I searched a little
found SANE, downloaded it then scanned = black pages (only difference that light was white and it was faster)
Any help, please?

Try these tips..
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rolfbensch/sane-git
then run
$ sudo apt update
then (assuming the user has the sane and all sane libraries installed) do a full-upgrade by
$ sudo apt full-upgrade
If you do not have sane and all its libraries installed then install it by executing the following.
sudo apt -y install sane libsane libsane-common sane-utils libsane-extras
Now your scanner should work with any frontends like simple-scan or gscan2pdf.
or you can compile sane-backend from the latest source, for that you can follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompileSaneFromSource. and it will help you some more https://help.ubuntu.com/community/sane
good luck
