The PSC-2210 is USB only. My network consists (at the moment) only of my PC and a router, so scanning over the network is not currently relevant. However, I think that possibly some of the cups printing problems that I was getting until a day or two ago were to do with some confusion between 127.0.0.1 and 192.168.0.10 (which is the PC's IP address on the LAN) - maybe something odd going on there. > "scanimage -L" as root should work even in the case of wrong > permissions.
