So, I just set this up on my machine. I actually have a similar 
configuration to you: I have a main machine and a laptop both running 
Linux Mint and connected to the house LAN via Ethernet and I managed to 
get this working using a PIXMA machine connected via USB on the main 
machine.

1. See here for setting up and enabling saned on the machine which has 
the USB connected device, setting up your laptop's IP in 
//etc/sane.d/saned.conf/ to enable it to connect: 
https://wiki.debian.org/SaneOverNetwork
2. On the laptop, make sure that the net backend is enabled in 
/etc/sane.d/dll.conf and add the IP of your main machine to 
/etc/sane.d/net.conf.

Now try scanimage -L again on the laptop and (finger's crossed) you 
should see the scanner.

Cheers,
Ralph
