[sane-devel] Saned not launching at Boot

[Geoff Lane]

I have an Ubuntu (V7.10) Linux system loaded with a Hewlett Packard 
C5280 MFP connected, other XP laptops can access the printer fine. The 
scanner functions work fine on my Linux machine.

I am having a few problems with saned, I have followed the advice in the 
MAN pages for setting up for network access but for some reason sane is 
not broadcasting after boot.

I have the correct entries in inetrd, saned.conf and services but still 
no port 6566 shows if I do a local scan.

If I run saned from the control line then 6566 shows on a port scan but 
then drops, if instead of the scan I try a remote connection scan I 
manage to connect but saned drops as soon as the connection is finished.

Below is the output from running saned -d6  the gap is where it pauses 
waiting for a connection.

Any ideas what may be wrong appreciated.
