That's great! Sometimes it helps just to take a step back.

I just went through the instructions here:

https://software.opensuse.org//download.html?project=home%3Apzz&package=sane-airscan

...on my Linux Mint 20 and it works, for the instructions for Ubuntu
20.04 (Focal) which Mint 20 is based upon.

I suspect that you tried this once before. Perhaps there was some aspect
of your system that was not quite right that caused it to fail.
Although it is built on openSUSE, it is a (non PPA) repo for Ubuntu.
Anyway, let's give it a try again. It seemed to work for me.

echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/pzz/xUbuntu_20.04/ /' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/home:pzz.list
curl -fsSL https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:pzz/xUbuntu_20.04/Release.key | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/home_pzz.gpg > /dev/null
sudo apt update
sudo apt install sane-airscan

Cheers,
Ralph
