[sane-devel] Help with network scanning

[mlb at imparisystems.com]

Sounds like the same problem I had - 

On the client machine, you have to tell it where to find the scanner.  In

/etc/sane.d/net.conf

make sure you have an entry with either the IP address of the server or
the server name if you're using DNS

For example, I added the line

192.168.1.100

Worked like a champ.
