# To apply the fix, copy/paste the following in a terminal:

#   . Uninstall libsane + libsane-extras
sudo apt-get remove libsane libsane-extras

#   . Manually download and install the older version 1.0.21-9 of libsane and libsane-extras
cd
mkdir -p lexmark
cd lexmark
wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/sane-backends/libsane_1.0.21-9_i386.deb
wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/sane-backends-extras/libsane-extras_1.0.21.2_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i libsane-extras_1.0.21.2_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i libsane_1.0.21-9_i386.deb

#   . Tell APT to pin the libsane and libsane-extras to the 1.0.21-9 version, so that they do not get updated and stay fixed with this specific version
cat <<EOT | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/preferences.d/libsane
Package: libsane
Pin: version 1.0.21-9
Pin-Priority: 900

#   . Reinstall simple-scan (not in the blog, but I had to do it)
sudo apt-get install -y simple-scan

#   . Test and enjoy your scanner :)

#     NOTE: I had to go to Documents/Preferences 
#            Scan Source = LexmarkX110/rev.2C
#            Close
