If you have the backend .so file, you can add "oki" to the
/etc/sane.d/dll.conf and let SANE able to find the .so by adding the path
that directory in LD_LIBRARY_PATH env variable.

Then try a "scanimage -L".

If you want to know where SANE is looking and to make sure that it finds
your new backend, you can do: "SANE_DEBUG_DLL=5 scanimage -L"

I can't remember off the top of my head if you need to configure the
machine in a config file. This should get you started though,

Cheers,
Ralph
