As I understand it, this is an upstream design choice. saned doesn't let users select which scanners to share, it just shares any scanners that it can see. I think if network scanners were shared, then 2 saned instances on the same network get into a loop sharing the same scanner(s) recursively.
Nothing in the SaneDaemonTutorial points out this issue and it certainly wasn't clear to me from the saned manpage that this would be a problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1632183 Title: saned not find scanner that scanimage -L finds To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sane-backends/+bug/1632183/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
