No.  I had been able to see it under Ubuntu 16.04 several months ago,
but I believe there was no support for it in that version of sane, so I
gave up and reverted to rebooting to Windows to scan.

I'd had a firewall rule to allow UDP traffic from the MFD for a long
time.  I don't filter outbound traffic.

Fails, even as root, for network and USB.  'lsusb' doesn't list it.
It's been forever and a day since I did anything with USB under Linux...
it's "just worked" for years.

BTW, the MFD *does* work, I can print to it, and I can scan via the
network from Windows.
