I am having the same problem on Ubuntu 18.04. It was working on both 16
and 18 until recently.

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. Attempting
to manually start it results in systems complaining that the service
is masked:
kjetil at lucien in ~> sudo systemctl start saned
Failed to start saned.service: Unit saned.service is masked.
Unmasking it does not work:
kjetil at lucien in ~> sudo systemctl unmask saned
kjetil at lucien in ~> sudo systemctl start saned
Failed to start saned.service: Unit saned.service is masked.
kjetil at lucien in ~> ps u -C saned
