I have no idea what I can do now. It is not clear to me if sane-backends package really includes the required genesys 1.0-63 version.
You need sane-backends 1.0.22 or later to have genesys 1.0-63.
There are a few ways to install a newer version of sane-backends on EL6. One is to rebuild a src.rpm from Fedora. The other is to use the linuxtech-backports repo [1]. I have even built it from a tarball but this should not be necessary.
As I have only very basic skills with yum command I had problems with the same packages (i.e. sane-backends, sane-backends-libs, sane-backends-libs-gphoto) available in two repos. Then I ended in using yum to remove everything concerning xsane/sane (including hp sane packages), then downloading from linuxtech and running "rpm -U ..." and then with yum I again installed xsane.
Now I'm able to see the CanoScan LiDE 210 in xsane and it seems to work, at least I'm able to scan single page into a PDF file.
And the command line says
# LANG="" yum info sane-backends ... Installed Packages Name : sane-backends Arch : x86_64 Version : 1.0.22 Release : 3.1.el6 Size : 4.5 M Repo : installed ...
# scanimage -L device `genesys:libusb:003:005' is a Canon LiDE 210 flatbed scanner
... which means SOLVED !!!
Thanks very much.
