Thanks very much - that is encouraging and exactly what I wanted to know. Debian Sid has the 1.0.22 version of genesys, which is the relevant driver, and /etc/sane.d/genesys.conf lists the Lide 110 among the supported printers. So it _ought_to work. I was worried because I found some people on Ubuntu who had had problems, probably on the previous version of genesys. I'm not bothered about the buttons - they don't work on the Epson Perfection 1650 either, but that never worried me.
