	Hello,

	the A920 sensor is different from the one used to develop the lexmark 
backend. So it won't work with the current version.. However I am working  
adding support fo it on an experimental version. It currenly scans in color 
at 75/150/300 and 600 dpi. Gray scanning will come very soon.
	You'll have to use CVS to get the code and compile it. You'll also need 
sane-backends sources (1.0.17 or cvs).  To get experimental lexmark do:

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

Then cd into experimental/lexmark and run links.sh giving it the path to the 
directory where you put sane-backend sources. Let's say it's in /usr/src :
sh link.sh /usr/src/sane-backends-1.0.17
Then cd to /usr/src/sane-backends-1.0.17, do 'configure', 'make' and 'make 
install'. You should be able to run the A290.

Regards,
