I looked at the list of supported scanners for sane
Canoscan LiDE 90 is not listed.

Canon LiDE 80 is listed and says *NOT* supported.

However, the sane genesys backend
http://www.sane-project.org/man/sane-genesys.5.html
Shows similar models, Canon LiDE 35/40/50/60
I would try that to see if it works.



Newegg.com has a cheap scanner
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16838110019
EPSON Perfection V200

This shows it is supported:

Hope this helps.

PS. I *HATE* it when people say, "Hope this helps".
