I see that you are trying to use saned. Saned is only used to network 
machines that only have local, direction connection options such as USB.
It sounds like you are trying to access the scanner locally so it would 
make sense to get the machine working locally first.

Perhaps you could confirm exactly what your setup is and what you are 
trying to achieve first, what you have connect to what etc and then we 
can take it from there.

Cheers,
Ralph
