It is fully supported since 2017-04-26. sane-backends-1.0.27 was
released 2017-05-22, so based on

I'd say you have to upgrade your libsane package as you appear to have
1.0.25+git20150528-1ubuntu2.16.04.1 installed 'now'.
The output you show is a bit misleading as it shows all the packages
that are *available*, not just the ones that are installed. Check with
apt-cache policy libsane
to see what version is installed and upgrade to a 1.0.27 version.
BTW, you don't need libsane-dev, just libsane.
Hope this helps,
