Hi Ralph,<div><br></div><div>I guess I wasn’t very clear about my setup:</div><div><br></div><div>1. I have ATTEMPTED to disable sane on ALL computers by editing /etc/default/saved and /etc/initial.d/sane (RUN=no), but on TWO of the computers, saned STILL shows up as TWO processes in htop. So, I would really appreciate advice on how to block saned from launching automagically.</div><div><br></div><div>2. The Brother scanner driver (brscan3) IS installed on all three computers.</div><div><br></div><div>Finally, I would like to try the init thing you mentioned; I would appreciate your instructions on telling init to listen on port 6566 and pass the connection to saned (when it is running).</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks again for input.</div><div><br></div><div>Steve</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br><br><br><a href="https://overview.mail.yahoo.com/?.src=iOS">Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPad</a><br><br><p class="yahoo-quoted-begin" style="font-size: 15px; color: #715FFA; padding-top: 15px; margin-top: 0">On Saturday, February 26, 2022, 20:18, Ralph Little <skelband@gmail.com> wrote:</p><blockquote class="iosymail"><div dir="ltr">Hi,<br clear="none"><br clear="none">On 2022-02-26 16:23, steve rinsler wrote:<br clear="none">> Hi Ralph,<br clear="none">><br clear="none">> Thanks for your reply.

First, I just used the ip address (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) and then "brother3:net1:dev0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx." (without quotes).
