$ su
Password:
# locate sg0
/dev/sg0
/home/satimis/Mail/trash/cur/1046100409.1798.sg0n:2,S
# locate sg7
/dev/sg7
/usr/lib/wine/wine/msg711.drv.so

# locate net.conf
/etc/sane.d/net.conf

It is an empty file having following content it

# This is the net config file.  Each line names a host to attach to.
# If you list "localhost" then your backends can be accessed either
# directly or through the net backend.  Going through the net backend
# may be necessary to access devices that need special privileges.
# localhost

How to find out the ip-number of the scanner.  It is a rather old 
machine but still working on Windows
