Which version of SANE are you using now (server + client)? > I still works on my PC, but I can't get it to work on my second one using > sane's network capability. So on your first PC, the scanner is listed by scanimage -L, even as normal user? So the permissions are set-up correctly. > But this was all working last time I tried it. > At first when I fired up xsane on the second PC all I got was something like > 'no devices found'. After I set /usr/sbin/saned to SUID root Don't do that. saned wasn't written to support that. It's too risky. Instead, make sure that the user saned has access to your USB device (probably /dev/usb/scanner0). First, make sure that the local net works: On PC 1, add localhost to net.conf. scanimage -L should list your scanner twice now, once directly and once over the net (e.g. net:localhost:epson:/dev/usb/scanner0). If this doesn't work, check your xinetd settings again. > I was able to > get past that.

Any messages in syslog of PC 1? Maybe you can see more details when running with debugging enabled: SANE_DEBUG_NET=255 scanimage -d ... >out.pnm For debugging purposes, you can also use saned stand-alone (without xinetd).

It usually means that setting up something didn't work. Bye, Henning
