Perhaps when backports is a regression you have to uninstall the newer versions first? I have only ever back-ported a higher version. What version of libsane have you got now? Or perhaps you have a missing driver.

Re: SANE scanner error on Debian Jessie
I have a similar problem, but with a SCSI scanner. If I type in a terminal window lsscsi it shows the scanner is there, but without a location eg /dev/ Sometimes if I type sane-find-scanner it does. This morning I had to use modprobe sg1 then it worked OK. David.

Re: SANE scanner error on Debian Jessie
Thanks Lisi, but still having the same trouble... I did this: 1) To /etc/apt/sources.list I added the line: deb http://http.debian.net/debian/ jessie-backports main 2) Then did: apt-get update 3) Then did: apt-get -t jessie-backports install sane libsane libsane- common sane-utils But when I try to scan, I get the same errors as described previously.

Re: SANE scanner error on Debian Jessie
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
