There's nothing in /usr/doc/sane-[version-number]? No sane.ps there?
If there is a sane.ps, try

Charles> First question, how do I map that to a device?
This was a question I had when I set up the Gimp to use sane. My
scanner showed up on /dev/sga, information 'find-scanner' supplied.
/dev/scanner is a symlink to /dev/sga. I don't remember if I did the
symlink or whether running a program did it.

See man saned or sane.ps. I believe the sane daemon is if you want to
network the scanner. There are some files in /etc/sane.d/ which have
to be edited, such as net.conf and (for me) umax.conf.

Don't know.
