Hi Gerard, MX890 series is fully supported by the development (git) SANE version. Please install latest SANE as desribed here: http://www.sane-project.org/README.linux. You can see the supported scanners status of the git version here: http://www.sane-project.org/lists/sane-backends-cvs.html#S-PIXMA
There are some minor bugs in your scanner's driver. If you like you can help debugging button and ADF empty support.
