Some new information about SANE scanner problem: Debian (scanner not working): libsane 1.0.24 libsane-common 1.0.24
Ubuntu (scanner working): libsane 1.0.23 libsane-common 1.0.23 To experiment, I used synaptic to remove everything related to SANE on Debian Jessie, and then compiled SANE 1.0.23 from source on it. And then command line SCANNING WORKED - Great! Unfortunately, as soon as I reinstalled either XSane or SimpleScan, synaptic reinstalled SANE 1.0.24 and then nothing worked again. If these questions sound like I don't know what I'm doing, it's because I don't know what I'm doing (amateur Debian user): 1) Is there some way I can install the older SANE 1.0.23 via Synaptic? 2) Alternatively, since SANE 1.0.22 was part of Wheezy - can that be installed via Synaptic on Jessie? Hope someone can help! Original post: https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2016/03/msg00241.html
