looks like you need:
gutenprint 5.something
sane epkowa 2.12.0

not sure which versions are in F10 but it looks like at least the printing 
functions may be supported in F9, and I have never investigated how hard it is 
to use an updated sane back-end with fedora.

BTW there are nice databases that have been put together for devices that work 
with Unix:
