I actually experienced Bug #478761 today, but I saw this when I googled
and thought it might be somewhat related. This is my post for that
bug...
I was having a similar problem with XSane today. According to Oliver
Rauch, the author of XSane, the SANE team has changed some things in the
latest release of the backends that breaks compatibility. This was
posted on the XSane web site in February...
"If you experience any problems with XSane and sane-backends with a
version number greater than 1.0.19 then this may be caused by an
incompatible development of sane-backends. In this case it may be worth
to try sane-backends-1.0.19 or earlier. XSane is and will keep
compatible to the original SANE-1.0 standard. I will not spend any time
for incompatible things that will mess up everything."
Indeed if you look at the version numbers in Jaunty libsane is 1.0.19,
whereas the one in Karmic is 1.0.20, so I suppose this kind of makes
sense.
I went into Synaptic and removed xsane and its dependencies, then
installed older versions from source. Now things seem to be working
again with my Canon scanner. (I can scan but my preview window is a bit
messed up... probably unrelated though.)

Hope that helps you guys too!
