moshman, you have to change to the directory where the downloaded package installed, then run
./configure
make
make install

Just for info, I have a Lide 25 and it is working fine

Testing my Lide 200 finally with development sane snapshot.

Looking good, Lide 200 support is in the pipe!

wow, it's a long time coming. I thought they forgot about it.

I wonder how long it'll take to get into mainline Ubuntu. Hopefully, if it works well, not too long.

I liked the scanner, it was decent hardware. Just didn't have any way to use it. Thanks for the update!

The latest version of xsane installed without any problems or error messages, but the LiDE 200 is not seen.

It is showing up as connected if I run lsusb, but xsane does not recognize it. Any thoughts?

Output of lsusb:

:~$ lsusb

Output of scanimage -V

:~$ scanimage -V
scanimage (sane-backends) 1.0.22git; backend version 1.0.22

So it looks like I have the latest and greatest version of the sane-backends, but no joy.

I don't understand.

i'm having the same exact problem as you, spike. i'm using 9.10 (karmic).

[dli8ilb]

here is the solution (slightly modified for the LiDE 200 model), tested and working in Karmic:

To get this working, here are the steps to take:

1) You need some usb libraries, so, in a terminal type:

sudo apt-get install libusb-dev build-essential libsane-dev

2) To get the sane backends from git you need git-core. If you don't already have it, type this (also in a terminal):

sudo apt-get install git-core

3) Now use the git that was just installed to get the sane backends using the following command:

git clone git://git.debian.org/sane/sane-backends.git

That downloads the backends and puts them in a folder called sane-backends in your home folder.

4) Change directory into the new sane-backends folder and compile them:

cd sane-backends

./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var

make <--- this one takes a while

sudo make install

Now everything is installed, but you still won't be able to scan (except as root) until you set up some permissions.

5) You need to edit a file, but you need to be root to edit it, so:

sudo gedit /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules

and add the following 2 lines:

# Canon CanoScan Lide 200
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04a9", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1905", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"

save the file, exit gedit, exit terminal, reboot, and...

SCAN AWAY!
Instructions modified version of Shutter4U's post.

at this point, if your scanner still isn't working, do this:

Check file /etc/sane.d/genesys.conf to see if your scanner is listed.

If not, add it with a text editor. Use the format that the other scanners use.

in other words:

6) sudo gedit /etc/sane.d/genesys.conf

then add the lines:

# Canon LiDE 200
usb 0x04a9 0x1905

save the file and test with xsane.

thanks to whoever the genius is that made these scanners work with linux, and for desertdog's instructions in this thread:
