Grumbl, grumbl, graahhh!

That's it. net.conf wasn't configured. Shame on me. I thought the net
stuff was already set up by saned.conf, but it's crystal clear that
that's only the server part of it. Adding localhost to net.conf did the
magic.

Anyway, Karl, it might be useful to add a short step-by-step snippet
about setting up EPSON parallel port scanners (i.e. the part about
setting up saned in order to make it possible for non-root user to use
the devices, and about securing saned). I really tried and searched for
that kind of information, but I had to collect the parts from the list
archive, the docs, and the SANE EPSON pages.


Thanks anyway,
