Check that you don't use a firewall or NAT setup that blocks the SANE data port. Please try other frontends (xscanimage, scanimage). Does the same happen? Please try other backends (e.g. the test backend: xsane net:hostname:test). If you scan using the net backend on the server, does it also hang? --> e.g. scanimage -d net:localhost:snapscan:/dev/scanner Check the logs. On the client side, you can set the environment variable SANE_DEBUG_NET=255. On the server side, have a lokk at syslog messages. For more debugging on the server side, disabled saned in (x)inetd.conf and start it manually like this: saned -d255 Bye, Henning
