	Hello,

	could you give the experimental lexmark backend a try ? Here are quick 
instructions to build it from cvs, and run it without system-wide install. 
First we get sane sources and patch them to get experimental version, and 
compile it.

cd /tmp

mkdir testing

cd testing

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous at cvs.alioth.debian.org:/cvsroot/sane login 
 (type return when asked for a password).

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous at cvs.alioth.debian.org:/cvsroot/sane co 
sane-backends

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous at cvs.alioth.debian.org:/cvsroot/sane co 
experimental/lexmark

cd experimental/lexmark

sh link.sh ../../sane-backends

cd ../../sane-backends

./configure

make

You have now an experimental version in /tmp/testing/sane-backends. Now to run 
it without install (assuming you don't change from 
the  /tmp/testing/sane-backends directory):
export LD_PRELOAD=backend/.libs/libsane-lexmark.so.1.0.17

You can now run xsane/xscanimage/scanimage from the command line.


Regards,
	Stef
