Better try without Yast. This way you know what you are doing :-)

So it doesn't look like a saned problem on first sight. What happens
when you do: 
scanimage -d net:192.168.0.1 -T

That should do a test scan on the first scanner of the server.

If that works, just put "192.168.0.1" in net.conf of the client.

That's "sane_get_devices"

That's "sane_exit".

saned did exactly what you told him to do (probably "scanimage -L"?) :-)

In debug mode, saned exits after each connection.

Does scanning work? I.e. id you start saned in debug mode on the
server, does "scanimage -d net:192.168.0.1 >image.pnm" on the client
scan something? If not, what's the error message?

Has saned on the server the necessary permissions to access the scanner?

Bye,
