Here's a list. I use Fedora, so translate accordingly.
1)
If you are running IPtables you need a rule something like:
-A firewall -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp -s 192.168.1.0/24 --dport
sane-port -j sane-server
...
-A sane-server -j ULOG --ulog-prefix "Accept SANE"
-A sane-server -j ACCEPT
2)
If you are running TCP Wrappers you need a /etc/hosts.allow like
ALL: 127.
ALL: [::1/128]
saned: 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
3)
Your /etc/xinetd.d/saned file should look like:
service sane-port
{
port = 6566
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = saned
group = saned
server = /usr/sbin/saned
}
4)
The saned user will need to be in a group that allows access to
the scanner device. My scanner is on the parallel port, so my
/etc/group has:
lp:x:7:daemon,lp,saned
Ubuntu probably has a group to control access to USB devices.
Do a ls -l on the /dev device created when you plug the scanner
in.
5)
/etc/saned.d/dll.conf should allow the "net" driver
net
6)
/etc/saned.d/saned.conf should allow the networks you
expect
127.0.0.0/8
[::1]/128
192.168.1.0/24
7)
For testing /etc/saned.d/net.conf should contain
localhost
