Ok (0.90 is current, but 0.84 will also work).

Too old. Use 1.0.10.

The kernel scanner driver supports (almost) all scanners. That's not
the problem. The SANE driver must know about your scanner.

If there are already sane-backends 1.0.10 RPMs, use them. Otherwise
get the source.

You can check if your version of sane supportes a specific
scanner: http://www.mostang.com/sane/sane-old-backends.html

The list at the front pages alsways is about the latest version.
