[sane-devel] Kodak DS 3520 on Ubuntu 10.04 w/1.0.22 backend

I have a Kodak DS 3520 scanner I'm trying to get working with Ubuntu 10.04.

http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html#Z-KODAK says "Please test!"

sane-find-scanner worked with 10.04's included 1.0.20 version of
sane-backends, however scanimage -L failed to locate the scanner. I
built prevu debs for 10.04 with version 1.0.22 from the current Ubuntu
Oneriric release. I was not able to get sane-backends-extras to build.

With the new libsane and sane-utils installed scanimage -L now works,
but scanimage -T returns an illegal request error (see below).

Despite its current refusal to work with Linux, the 3520 is a pretty nice
scanner. I'd like to get it working if possible. Does anyone have any
suggestions, or is this a lost cause?
