[sane-devel] How to scan via WiFi over a LAN

[Media Mouth]

Thanks, Ralph for the info below.
If I'm understanding correctly, once the scanner is successfully connected via USB to a local computer, you can share that scanner to the LAN.
Is that correct?

From what I understand (at least from this link <https://wiki.debian.org/SaneOverNetwork>)
On the Client machine
in file 'dll.conf' (/usr/local/etc/sane.d/dll.conf), un-comment "net"
in file 'net.conf' (/usr/local/etc/sane.d/net.conf), Add the ip address of the Server machine (the one connected via USB to the scanner)

On the Server machine
in file 'sane.d' (/usr/local/etc/sane.d), add the IPs permitted to scan.

Am I on track?  Not working for me yet, but there's a note in 'sane.d':
# NOTE: /etc/inetd.conf (or /etc/xinetd.conf) and
# /etc/services must also be properly configured to start
# the saned daemon as documented in saned(8), services(4)
# and inetd.conf(4) (or xinetd.conf(5)).
