Another process is already using the same port which should be used by the saned. The usual "sane-port" is 6566, see /etc/services and/or see the xinetd file for the saned which port is defined there, see also "man saned". Assume it is port 6566, then you could run netstat -nap | grep 6566 to show the process which is already using this port. Often such a process uses a port only for a short time so that "netstat -nap | grep 6566" may show nothing. In this case you could restart the xinetd and then it should work and "netstat -nap | grep 6566" would usually show something like tcp ... 0 0.0.0.0:6566 ... 0.0.0.0:* ... LISTEN .../xinetd i.e. the xinetd is listening (the xinetd would start the actual saned when a client connects to port 6566) when then saned is used in its default mode (see "man saned").
