Sane: Share scanners via Network?

Guess we are misunderstanding each other.
As indicated by the “No saned found at {address}” error message, Qoppa PDF Studio wants to contact a saned interface locally, in order to access the scanner.
Or, in other words, the scanners have to be presented to Qoppa PDF Studio via saned, which appears to be different to, for example, xsane.

Meanwhile, I was able to make some progress. In accordance with How to set up your scanner to work with Sane and PDF Studio under Fedora 27 Linux’s systemd – PDF Studio Knowledge Base , the file /usr/lib/systemd/system/saned@.service has to be amended as follows:

[Unit]
Description=Scanner Service
Requires=saned.socket

[Service]
Group=scanner
User=saned
Group=saned
ExecStart=/usr/bin/saned

StandardInput=socket
# StandardInput=null
StandardError=syslog

Environment=SANE_CONFIG_DIR=/etc/sane.d SANE_DEBUG_DLL=255

After a systemctl daemon-reload, Qoppa PDF Studio finally found the scanner :slight_smile:
