The problem is with Sane, not with Simple-Scan. This scanner isn't supported by default in Sane.
Simple-Scan is only a front-end.

According to the page http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html , Canon Pixma MX360 is supported on Pixma 0.17.4 backend.
Currently I'm not an Ubuntu user, but You can try to manually install sane-pixma package with a package manager like Synaptic.

The bug is: Ubuntu must automatically install this backend and another sane backends for the right support of scanners. I renamed it.
