Bummer! Here's a wiki page on [wiki:howto/InstallingOlderPort Downgrading
to an older port].
However, I would encourage you to try a bit of debugging with the current
version of sane-backends before you give up and downgrade. Perhaps the
most recent version of sane-backends has introduced a regression? In that
case, you're probably not the only one running into this problem. If you
can help locate and squash the bug, the upstream maintainers of SANE can
fix the bug for everyone.
I'm surprised to hear that your DocuMate262i stopped working as it looks
like support for it was only added to the avision backend between versions
1.0.21 and 1.0.22
Unfortunately, my experience with SANE is limited exclusively to the
Fujitsu brand of scanners. I don't have access to a DocuMate262i so I
can't do any testing on my side.
Here is a link to the page of the avision backend maintainer's site. He
might be able to better help you track down the problem:

If that doesn't work, here are some links that discuss DocuMate262i
scanners and SANE:
* [http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/sane-
devel/2010-October/027509.html Patch that adds DocuMate262i to avision
backend]
* [http://www.gentoo-quebec.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=634 Page (in
french) about using the DocuMate262i with SANE]
If those all turn into dead-ends, let me know and I'll try to help you
debug.
