[sane-devel] Fwd: SANE network scanning?

[m. allan noah]

Sounds like you are trying to use some sort of twain-sane bridge on
the client? I would skip that for now, and make sure you can talk to
sane natively from the client. Perhaps using XSane? I don't use
Windows, so I'm not of much help there, sorry.
