Those "instructions" were merged five days ago to the sane-backends master branch by Rolf Bensch. Rolf also maintains a PPA with daily updated *.deb packages that use the code from our master branch. You can find the PPA and instructions for use at https://launchpad.net/~rolfbensch/+archive/ubuntu/sane-git The PPA is for Ubuntu but I think you should be able to use it as is on quite a few Debian derivatives, including Mint. You may have to use a bit of trial-and-error to find the corresponding Ubuntu release for your Mint version. If you're using 19.x (tessa) then I *think* the bionic packages are your best bet. For 18.x (sylvia), I'd try xenial and 17.x (rosa) I'd try trusty first. > Is it possible to set this printer to scan wirelessly?
