Hi! My OS is Mint 10 on my client/laptop and Ubuntu 10.10 on my 
server/desktop

Sane version is the same on both computer: scanimage (sane-backends) 
1.0.21; backend version 1.0.21.

On my desktop computer (server) I can scan without problems with my 
Epson DX4400 (with drivers downloaded from avasys). On my client laptop, 
I can't scan images. I've followed this procedure: 
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ScanningHowTo and I've obtained some 
strange results. When I try to run "scanimage -L" on my client, I get 
these results (three different ones in few seconds):

$ scanimage -L
No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).

$ scanimage -L
Errore di segmentazione (segmentation fault)

$ scanimage -L
Errore di segmentazione

$ scanimage -L
device `net:desktop.local:epkowa:interpreter:003:003' is a Epson 
(unknown model) flatbed scanner

---------------------------

With sudo:


$ sudo scanimage -L
Errore di segmentazione (segmentation fault)

$ sudo scanimage -L
device `net:desktop.local:epkowa:interpreter:003:003' is a Epson 
(unknown model) flatbed scanner
Errore di segmentazione

$ sudo scanimage -L
device `net:desktop.local:epkowa:interpreter:003:003' is a Epson 
(unknown model) flatbed scanner

------------------------------

Even if it (sometimes) finds my scanner, I've never been able to scan an 
image over my network. "Image scan" opens without errors, but when I try 
to scan, it says that it can't get access to the scanner. Please help 
me! Thanks!
