Comment 18 for bug 205496

I am having this problem also. Brother scanner runs with "sudo xsane" but not otherwise.
I read above about "This bug was fixed in the package sane-backends - 1.0.19-1ubuntu3", so I figured to check if I had the latest and greatest, with this result:
us@Linfred:~$ sudo apt-get install sane-backends - 1.0.19-1ubuntu3
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package sane-backends
us@Linfred:~$
???????????????
Regards,
Bruce.
