[sane-devel] HP officejet: access scanner over the network

[m. allan noah]

if the scanner can be reached over the network via hpaio's internal
networking capability, you dont need saned. You just need to tell the
hpaio backend on each machine where the scanner is located. Perhaps
hpaio has a config file for this, look in /etc/sane.d. But the real
experts on that are not on this list...
