sane-devel is not only for developers.

This test program doesn't have any relation to SANE. It's what its
name says: a test program for that scanner. You don't need to install
it. Just build (compile/link) it and run it.

I didn't test but I guess you can build an executable by running
"make canon-test-D646U".

There is even a README and some comments on top of the source file.

If you have more detailed questions, ask the author of that file. As
it hasn't been touched for quite a long time you may be on your own.

Bye,
