[sane-devel] I need a saned tester!

I think you can specify the network device name directly to -d. Getting -L 
to work (to list the scanners) is more tricky.

I can't find the documentation for how to construct the network name of the 
scanner but

https://wiki.debian.org/SaneOverNetwork

and 'man sane-net' might help.

>From the example at that wiki page it looks like something along the lines 
of 'scanimage -d net:<saned-ip-or-hostname>:<backend>:<device>' is what's 
required so maybe prepending "net:<saned-ip-or-hostname>" to the device 
name given when running 'scanimage -L' on the saned machine will work>

The manpage also documents how to add hosts to the net.conf file or to the 
SANE_NET_HOSTS environement variable to encourage 'scanimage -L' to find 
the scanner.
