Alvaro Gil, the original reporter's problem noted in the Bug Description is the scope of this long closed report.
Despite this, when stating documentation you are referring to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SaneDaemonTutorial to advise, this was tested working in Xenial at the time of its creation with my hardware. Also, this follows the systemd man page of how to set up unit configuration files as per: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/en/man5/systemd.unit.5.html However, if you found that when following either your equipment doesn't work, you likely have an equipment specific issue, or perhaps a systemd issue. Hence, to have your issue addressed, you will want to file a new report via a terminal: ubuntu-bug sane-backends Please feel free to subscribe me to it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to sane-backends in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1577137 Title: saned.service masked and cannot be unmasked Status in sane-backends package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: After upgrading to 16.04 (from 14.04) I noticed the sane daemon (sane- utils 1.0.25+git20150528-1ubuntu2) was no longer running.
