I attached the log file corresponding to > # export SANE_DEBUG_PIXMA=3 > # scanimage -T 2> scan-net.log This is the second router I have seen that messes up reverse lookup of ip-adresses. I will put this on my to-do list to work around this. A solution will take some time and will not be in 1.2.22 as the merge window for new features has already closed. I will see if I can do the change in both the sane backend and in cups-bjnp. I have seen a fritzbox return "noname" when a reverse lookup is done, but this one is definitely even more incorrect. Localhost is normally 127.0.0.1....
your work-around is the correct solution for now. I leave your other issue for Nicolas to answer, as he is the maintainer of the backend kind regards, Louis
