Yes, I still have kodak aio printer scanners.
I'm not sure if working on this bug is still worth the effort.
Since sane backends 1.0.24 I think we are using avahi instead of cups to 
do the network autodiscovery.
There is quite likely a similar problem, except with avahi instead of cups.

Title:
  No network scanner autodetection by backend kodakaio

Status in sane-backends package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  sane-backends 1.0,.23 in ubuntu 12.10 has a new backend kodakaio for kodak aio printers
  The backend can autodetect network connected scanners using functions in cups.
  The auto detect code is only compiled if cups.h is found at compile time.
  It seems likely that cups.h was not found at compile time when the package was built?

  If I compile and install kodakaio myself, the autodetect works with ubuntu 12.10
  Can anyone confirm this diagnosis?
  Is it possible to compile sane-backends with cups installed when building this package?
  Or is it necessary for me to always compile the autodetect code and check for the presence of cups at run time?
