referring to sane 1.3.1

the config file /etc/saned.conf contains incomplete/outdated instructions.
I suggest to fix that with this patch:

28c28,36
< # NOTE: /etc/inetd.conf (or /etc/xinetd.conf) and
---
 > # NOTE: you must enable automatic start of saned:
 > #    systemctl enable saned.socket
 > # depending on your system you may need to add users to the a 
specific group like "scanner"
 > #    adduser userxy scanner
 > # then you must start the socket manually (or restart your system):
 > #    systemctl start saned.socket
 > # This will start saned at .service on a network connect to the socket, 
which defaults to port 6566.
 > # See /usr/share/doc/sane/saned.install.md for more information
 > #
 > # On older systems /etc/inetd.conf (or /etc/xinetd.conf) and

best regards
