Sure, I ran "tcpdump -i any -x -s 1024" and then ran "scanimage -L"
locally.  You can find the output at:
http://www.kleemann.org/crap/tcpdump1

I'm trying to verify this from the same machine so all these messages
are from/to the same host.

I had already tried both those options with no luck.

Thanks.  I had seen the page initially and it was responsible for
getting me nearly there.  The hints about having a script wrapper call
saned with debug info was particularly helpful.

I hope I haven't offended you.  I tried to get it working on my own
and when I failed I hoped that sending a detailed message to the list
would jog the memory of people who had a similar problem.  I really
appreciate all this free software!

thanx!
