On a fresh installed 64 bit Fedora 17 I installed SANE as follows:

1. install missing package collections with the application
   Add/Remove Software:
   Development Libraries
   Development Tools
2. install missing packages with the application Add/Remove Software:
   libusb-devel
   xsane
3. download SANE from git in a terminal:
   mkdir ~/workspace
   cd ~/workspace
   git clone git://git.debian.org/sane/sane-backends.git
   cd sane-backends
4. configure SANE in the same terminal used before:
   BACKENDS="pixma" ./configure --libdir="/usr/lib64"
   => I only need the pixma backend
   => I want to overwrite Fedora's SANE library
   => If you want to overwrite Fedora's executables, docs,
      localisation, etc., have a look to other parameters of configure:
      --bindir, --sysconfdir, --datadir, etc.
5. compile and install SANE in the same terminal used before:
   make && sudo make install
6. copy udev rules in the same terminal used before:
   sudo cp tools/udev/libsane.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
7. create group scanner and join this new group with the application
   Users and Groups
8. logout and login again and reconnect the scanner or simply reboot

My CS9000F works fine in this installation.

Cheers,
Rolf
