sane-find-scanner merely uses libusb to detect the scanner, this does
not use the actual backend.
If you read the linux README that comes with SANE, you'll get the
details of how to compile from source (the CVS version) and test.
But for now, just use scanimage to scan, or use xsane if you want a
graphical interface. Either of those should work (i.e., they should
use the sane-pixma 0.17.4 backend that comes with 1.0.24).
