G'day! I have a Canon MX310 which was scanning OK, but only in colour. There was some sort of bug in Greyscale and B&W. I attempted to "compile and install" the newer sane backends also, but as a newbie I clearly did something wrong, because now none of my Linux scanning software will find the Canon or any other scanner (I have 3). I even uninstalled and reinstalled SANE and gscan2pdf via the Package Manager, but still " Can someone point me to a *very basic* Linux how-to that explains for a newbie exactly how to "compile and install" with Linux? Everything I look at assumes I have more knowledge about "compiling" than I actually have. Running LinuxMint 9 (Isadora) which is built on Ubuntu, for nearly a year now. Up to this point upgrading and installing packages via Package Manager has been adequate for my needs, but the newer version is not available this way, thus I attempted the more challenging route, but can not find "instructions" anywhere.
