Hello. Perhaps the scanner is recognised but the permissions for accessing it are wrongly set (because of mixing packages of different Ubuntu versions). Install the package sane-utils (if not already installed) and try the following commands (with the scanner connected of course) in a terminal and see what are the replies:
sudo sane-find-scanner sudo scanimage -L sane-find-scanner scanimage -L It there is a different reply "with sudo" and "without sudo", the problem is wrongly set device permissions and I will suggest you what to do in this case. >From your screenshot, it seems that the downgraded package has been correctly installed (at the second try, in the first it seems that the deb file was not found...)
