</span>What I did, was to go to <a href="http://www.debian.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">www.debian.org</a>, click on "Packages".<br>
<br>
Then, go down to the "Search package directories" area, enter<br>
"sane" in the search string and "testing" for distribution,<br>
and do a search. This brings up all of the packages in that<br>
distribution with "sane" in the name.<br>
<br>
What the SANE projects calls "sane-backends", is mostly in the<br>
Debian package called "libsane" - it's the runtime libraries (which<br>
is how the back-ends are packaged - they're dynamically-loadable<br>
libraries).<br>
<br>
The Debian "sane" package is mostly the front-ends.<br>

</span>That's a reasonable place to start reading, although I don't know how<br>
specific to any particular version of Linux their particular<br>
instructions might be.<br>
<br>
You should need to rebuild only the back-ends (that was my own<br>
experience, at least). The front-end GUI programs make use of the<br>
back-end libraries, via the SANE APIs. You should find that front-ends<br>
built from 1.0.25, will work just fine with back-end libraries built<br>
from the 1.0.27 sources.<br>
<br>
I'd suggest downloading the 1.0.27 source tarball directly from the<br>
main SANE archive site, rather than from a third-party site... no<br>
telling what changes might have been made for various reasons in the<br>
third-party version. In this case it seems safe enough (the fossies<br>
site gives the same MD5 checksum as the one at the main SANE project<br>
archives, and the download matches the checksum, so it hasn't been<br>
altered or tampered with) but it's usually best to go back to the<br>
source.<br>
<br>
What you would need to do:<br>
<br>
(download the tarball)<br>
md5sum sane-backends-1.0.27.tar.gz<br>
<br>
(make sure this reports b10a08785f92a4c07ad961f4d843c9<wbr>34)<br>
<br>
tar xfa sane-backends-1.0.27.tar.gz<br>
cd sane-backends-1.0.27<br>
sudo apt-get build-dep libsane<br>
sudo apt-get install build-essentials<br>
./configure<br>
<br>
(this should tell you that it's going to install into<br>
/usr/local/ subdirectories)<br>
<br>
make<br>
<br>
(this should build all of the backends)<br>
<br>
At this point you have a bunch of ways you can go about installing.<br>
<br>
If you look in "./.libs/" you should find ./.libs/libsane-pixma.so<br>
which is the newly-build version of the Pixma backend.<br>
<br>
You can do a "sudo make install" which will install all of the SANE<br>
libraries and back-ends into /usr/local/lib/sane/ and install a bunch<br>
of new configuration files into /usr/local/etc/sane.d/. That may work<br>
although I can't guarantee that the loader will find those new<br>
libraries since you've already got the standard Debian versions<br>
installed.<br>
<br>
Or, you can very selectively install just this one back-end:<br>
<br>
sudo mv /usr/lib/sane/libsane-pixma.so /usr/lib/sane/libsane-pixma.<wbr>so.backup<br>
sudo cp ./.libs/libsane-pixma.so /usr/lib/sane/<br>
<br>
That approach will leave you with your existing Debian SANE<br>
installation unchanged _except_ for this one modified<br>
back-end library.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps you get started. Use at your own risk. No<br>
warranty offered, express or implied. If it breaks, you own<br>
all the pieces. :-)<br>
