Thanks again Paul,

So, running the first check ("export SANE_DEBUG_GENESYS=10") returns nothing.

I checked the genesys.conf and find no mention of the 220 in there.

I checked the git folder and "pull" says it's "already up-to-date."

I must not have the newest backend for some reason (I used git://git.debian.org/sane/sane-backends.git). Is the genesys backend not responding a problem, or is that just because it's not using it?

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).




rafe,
So I'd say your current situation is that you have sane installed in a couple of places (usr/lib and usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu)
and you are running a version of 1.0.25
I think the genesys backend is supposed to support your lide 220 scanner, so I'd now do this in terminal:
   ...$ export SANE_DEBUG_GENESYS=10
   ...$ scanimage -L
the first line causes the genesys backend to output debug information when you run scanimage, a higher number gives more detail.
So you should see some debug info as scanimage looks for the scanner. (If you see nothing the genesys backend is probably not enabled)

If the backend is being run by scanimage, but not finding the scanner:
Look at the file  /etc/sane.d/genesys.conf to see if it has the lines
   # Canon LiDE 220
   usb 0x04a9 0x190f
if not your version of sane may not be new enough.
