Stelios: there is no "linux" choice on the link you provide. thumbs down, looks like you haven't even tried dwonloading it, without mention to getting the device to work with the "driver" you suggest.
From this link select linux as your op. system and the desired language and download the drivers you asked for.
In case of a problem or clarification or further details needed, don't hesitate to post me a reply before rejecting my answer. If you are satisfied, rate my solution with the "thumbs" or (even better) add a testimonial.

I have many years of experience with canon scanners so here is my suggestion for you.
I honestly I dont think any model of Canon scanner is designed to work under Linux, you may try contacting canon directly to see if they have drivers for your scanner. I hope this helps you out if not let me know.
If your able to see the Windows Setup page, and get as far as your partitions, I would suggest deleting the partitions on the hard drive (make sure you know what your doing before trying this), as Ubuntu is mounted normally on a filesystem which Windows can not read (EXT2/3 for Linux - Fat32 / NTFS for Windows).
Once you have deleted all partitions, you can then create a partition (I'd recommend just clicking Install) and then chose the second option to format (not quick) for NTFS.
This then does a "secure" format of your hard drive, setting you up for a nice stable installation.
Apart from that, why don't you try jumping onto Ubuntuforums.org for Ubuntu Help, since Ubuntu is a much better Operating System (OS) than Windows, and there is a great community for helping people.
