This should explicitly add the IP to the list of hosts that would be considered in addition to what is configured. I just tried that and it worked for me. Cheers, Ralph Okay, here is the net.conf file: home-E7250:~$ sudo cat /etc/sane.d/net.conf # This is the net backend config file. ## net backend options # Timeout for the initial connection to saned. This will prevent the backend # from blocking for several minutes trying to connect to an unresponsive # saned host (network outage, host down, ...). Value in seconds. # connect_timeout = 60 ## saned hosts # Each line names a host to attach to. # If you list "localhost" then your backends can be accessed either # directly or through the net backend. Going through the net backend # may be necessary to access devices that need special privileges. # localhost # 192.168.0.15 And when I ran the command: home-E7250:~$ SANE_NET_HOSTS=192.168.0.15 scanimage -L No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different, check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
