Hello, the A920 sensor is different from the one used to develop the lexmark backend. So it won't work with the current version.. However I am working adding support fo it on an experimental version. It currenly scans in color at 75/150/300 and 600 dpi. Gray scanning will come very soon. You'll have to use CVS to get the code and compile it. You'll also need sane-backends sources (1.0.17 or cvs). To get experimental lexmark do: cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonym...@cvs.alioth.debian.org:/cvsroot/sane co experimental/lexmark Then cd into experimental/lexmark and run links.sh giving it the path to the directory where you put sane-backend sources. Let's say it's in /usr/src : sh link.sh /usr/src/sane-backends-1.0.17 Then cd to /usr/src/sane-backends-1.0.17, do 'configure', 'make' and 'make install'. You should be able to run the A290.
