Just had this with a custom Ubuntu 12.04 - I got the "unknown sensor 1235" as per #11.
So I downloaded the sources for "quantal/sane-backends" as per #12, built them on 11.04 (using the -d override switch of `dpkg- buildpackage`); copied the resulting *.debs to 12.04 machine. After installing both libsane-common_1.0.23-0ubuntu1_i386.deb and libsane_1.0.23-0ubuntu1_i386.deb on the 12.04 machine, finally I could get "is a Lexmark X1100/rev. B2 flatbed scanner" as in #15, but only with `sudo` - and after that, I could finally call `sudo simple-scan`, and it works properly with the scanner.

I mean that the device still operates correctly as printer, but the scanner is not found. Before upgrading, under Maverick, all functions of X1110 worked correctly Here is the result of scanimage -L command [CODE] No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different, check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).

Thus, I run on terminal sudo sane-find-scanner -p. Here is the result [CODE] # sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner.

[/CODE]Please, note that sane-utils and xsane are installed, saned user is present and enabled within /etc/default/saned, and the demon is started by the command [CODE] sane-port stream tcp nowait saned:saned /usr/sbin/saned saned [/CODE]included within the file /etc/inetd.conf. After all these attempts, I completely uninstalled xsane and sane- utils, trying to make a scan by using simple-scan package, unsuccessfully. I installed again xsane and sane-utils, applying the configuration they had under maverick, but still unsuccessfully. I verified that the driver lexmark in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf was uncommented. Any idea on how to solve this issue, please?
