[sane-devel] Cannot scan over an open local network

[Steven Santos]

Joel,

I wrote the tutorial you are using, so I want to make sure we get your
issue fixed and the tutorial updated.

I added some of the things from this topic to the tutorial.

Can you give us an update on if you got this working?
