Thanks Lisi, but still having the same trouble...

I did this:

1) To /etc/apt/sources.list I added the line: deb
   http://http.debian.net/debian/ jessie-backports main

2) Then did:  apt-get update

3) Then did: apt-get -t jessie-backports install sane libsane libsane-
   common sane-utils

But when I try to scan, I get the same errors as described previously.
Am I doing something wrong there?

I wrote half an email before doing the correct Google search. :-(

I see that the Jessie libsane problem has already been solved:
https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=libsane&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all

So follow these directions for using Backports, and you will be home and
dry: http://backports.debian.org/Instructions/

I don't know how you use backports in Synaptic. In Aptitude it is the
same as in apt-get, mutatis mutandis. You could always use apt-get just
this once!
