Comment 40 for bug 83587

Hello. Perhaps the scanner is recognised but the permissions for
accessing it are wrongly set (because of mixing packages of different
Ubuntu versions). Install the package sane-utils (if not already
installed) and try the following commands (with the scanner connected of
course) in a terminal and see what are the replies:

sudo sane-find-scanner

sudo scanimage -L

sane-find-scanner

scanimage -L

It there is a different reply "with sudo" and "without sudo", the
problem is wrongly set device permissions and I will suggest you what to
do in this case.

>From your screenshot, it seems that the downgraded package has been
correctly installed (at the second try, in the first it seems that the
deb file was not found...)

I did the downgrade as you suggested it but now when I try to launch Applications, Graphisme, Scanneur it shows "no peripherical available" (before it would identify the 5300C but crash after trying a scan).
