I do not believe canon have provided a linux driver for that device, or that anyone has reverse engineered the protocol for that device at this time.

A quick search on the SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) (the program that has the reverse engineered drivers in it) database shows that the device has had a preliminary analysis done on it, but no driver developed.

http://www.sane-project.org/cgi-bin/driver.pl?manu=Canon&model=Lide+700&bus=any&v=&p=

That page has a full list of supported scanners for SANE.
