Yes you are missing something here. Having a sane-server is incredibly useful because it means that any computer on my home network (laptop, 2 workstations) can all access the scanner as if it was local. If I need to scans something to my laptop I just go put stick it on the bed and click scan on the laptop. No wires or anything required. > > Course, if you are going the headless route, and your computer is right > next to the headless computer and scanner, then it might be slightly > more useful.
