This is supported only in the git version of sane. It requires opening port 8610 outgoing and 8612 incoming (see man sane-pixma, section about firewalling). If the scanner and the computer are one the same subnet, opening these ports should be sufficient for auto-detection of the scanner. I don't have a laser multi-functional but have developed the mfnp support with one user that has a MF4880. That works. Another user got it to work with a MF4570.
If you opened the firewall and it did not work, please get me a logfile from scanimage -L with export SANE_DEBUG_BJNP=4 set. You may also want to try setting mfnp://192.168.1.51 in pixma.conf kind regards, Louis
