Has anyone set scanner sharing?
If yes, what did he put
into /etc/sane.d/net.conf?

Thanx!

Yes, it works great with sane.

On the server you do not need to put anything at all in net.conf. On the
clients you only need to add one line with the hostname of the server.
This assumes that your clients are able to translate the hostname to an
IP-adress. So you will have to have the servers hostname and ip in
/etc/hosts on the clients unless you get that information from NIS or DNS.

There is also another file called saned.conf. You will have to modify that
file to allow clients to connect to the scanner. My saned.conf looks like
this with some descriptive comments:

-8<-------------------------------------------------
#
# saned.conf
#
# The contents of the saned.conf file is a list of host names, IP
# addresses or IP subnets (CIDR notation) that are permitted to use local
# SANE devices. IPv6 addresses must be enclosed in brackets, and should
# always be specified in their compressed form.
#
# The hostname matching is not case-sensitive.
#
#scan-client.somedomain.firm
#192.168.0.1
#192.168.0.1/29
#[2001:7a8:185e::42:12]
#[2001:7a8:185e::42:12]/64
#
# NOTE: /etc/inetd.conf (or /etc/xinetd.conf) and
# /etc/services must also be properly configured to start
# the saned daemon as documented in saned(1), services(4)
# and inetd.conf(4) (or xinetd.conf(5)).
192.168.43.1/16
-8<-------------------------------------------------

Finally I have also added sane to /etc/services on the server:

sane 6566/tcp # SANE network scanner daemon

And the server has the following line in /etc/inetd.conf:

sane stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/local/sbin/saned

Thanks you for your detailed answer.

I solved finding my mistake.
In /etc/sane.d/net.conf I put the wrong line
net:192.168.0.2:epson:libusb:002:002.
On the contrary, it need to be added only
net:192.168.0.2
Now all works fine.

Thanx again
