Ok that's brilliant, and indeed it did look look for the scanner on the remote machine, but got "access to [LAN IP] denied."

No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
