No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
[net] sane_exit: exiting
[net] sane_exit: closing dev 0x8054450, ctl=3D-1

It looks very near working only in the very end while trying to acess the=
=20
device did things go wrong.

The server with the hp G85 attached does not have the same user list as t=
he=20
terminal server with the clients attached. Do I need to setup a user prof=
ile=20
for each user on the server who will be acessing scanning services via sa=
ned=20
net?
