I attempted to "compile and install" the newer sane backends also, but as a newbie I clearly did something wrong, because now none of my Linux scanning software will find the Canon or any other scanner (I have 3).

<br>Can someone point me to a <b>very basic</b> Linux how-to that explains for a newbie exactly how to "compile and install" with Linux? Everything I look at assumes I have more knowledge about "compiling" than I actually have.<br>
<br>Running LinuxMint 9 (Isadora) which is built on Ubuntu, for nearly a year now. Up to this point upgrading and installing packages via Package Manager has been adequate for my needs, but the newer version is not available this way, thus I attempted the more challenging route, but can not find "instructions" anywhere.<br>

The thing that was missing was to add "canon_dr" to /etc/sane.d/dll.conf<br>
