Under Debian potato 2.2r2 you find the following *.deb packages (see
dselect)
gimp
gimp1.1
sane-gimp1.1 (what I've been referring to in my message!)
sane
Therefore starting from scratch if you dselect or apt-get sane-gimp1.1
you'll have the gimp, xsane, xscanimage and the likes installed and working
together.

I meant I could no longer acquire images through xsane under the Gimp (even
though I had set the right plug-ins), and, utterly annoying, the printer was
no longer usable, I had the only option of printing on a file.
Now I'll have a go at what Henning suggested
