<div>But even before doing that, checking over syslog. The
following are the most suspicious lines:</div>

Yeah, that seems pretty suspicious. :D<br>

That seems to imply you have an incoming connection from that
address (192.168.1.182) which is weird, but might be unimportant.<br>
<br>
Let's try to simplify the situation a little.<br>
We can try to run saned manually, no need to stop the service, we
can choose a different port.<br>
<br>
saned -l -p 7000 -b 192.168.0.Server -e -d10<br>
<br>
This will run saned binding to the port 7000 in the foreground,
channeling the diag to stderr instead of syslog.<br>
Perhaps list the output of that in a reply here.<br>
<br>
You won't be able to connect a client to it without editing the
client's /etc/services file to change sane-port to 7000 from 6566
which is a bit of a faff.<br>
There is no way to configure the client's net backend to choose a
non-standard port. It merely looks at the machine's services
configuration. :(<br>
<br>
Please check that you do not have SANE_CONFIG_DIR set in your
environment, unless it is set to /etc/sane.d.<br>
That optionally contains the directories to search for the config
file. If it still cannot find saned.conf, and you do not have the
var set, you could set it to /etc/sane.d and try again.<br>
<br>
-----<br>
Setting up saned/net can be a frustrating process. Usually it either
"just works" or doesn't for frustratingly opaque reasons. :D<br>
