If a printer is not found, I can add it with system-config-printer. But if the magic of automatic detection of Sane fails, I cannot add a scanner manually.
I did not read all the details in this mail thread but in general as far as I understand how the scanner drivers in SANE work it is not possible for the user to add a scanner manually. Either a scanner driver can detect the scanner or not. In general you may have a look at https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Configuring_Scanners and therein see in particular the sections "Scanning via Network" and perhaps also "Third-Party Scanner Drivers". I think with scanners it is basically same as with things like harddisks. Either a kernel driver can detect a harddisk or not. It is not possible for the user to add a harddisk manually because when no kernel driver can detect a special harddisk there is nothing what the user could do any further, except update his kernel to get hopefully a new/updated driver that can detect (and use) his special harddisk.
