being lazy nowadays, if possible I avoid any source code compilation ;-) libsane-common unavailable in backports, I don't know if this could be profitable to you to backport it yourself. you could test a stable/testing mix in your sources.list with pinning preferences to follow sane in testing. or you could stay stable and try a quick and dirty trick in jessie by jnserting: # Canon LiDE 220 usb 0x04a9 0x190f in your /etc/sane.d/genesys.conf: I don't know how is designed the genesys backend, so maybe it is sufficient to obtain a functionning scanner, minus the LiDE220 specificities?
