First of all, you might need to give us some hint as to how it doesn't work? For example, what's the output of "scanimage -L" on the client system? If you run something like "xsane", what happens? "doesn't work" could range from "can't see the scanner at all" to "always produces a black image" to "inexplicably fills the room with rabid weasels". > > > [1} > https://wiki.debian.org/SaneOverNetwork#Sharing_a_USB_Connected_Scanner:_the_Basics >
