You have fundamental misunderstanding about the purpose of net.conf. As the wiki says: Note that the net backend is not for accessing arbitrary scanners over a network. It's intended use is for the server (which has a SANE-supported scanner) to be able to export that scanner to clients on the network via a single SANE-specific, manufacturer-agnostic protocol. -- Brian.
