I'm about ready to give up.  I don't know what to try next, any help is=20
appriciated.

I had xsane/sane working.  I think the last time I used it was before I=20
updated to RH8 from 7.3.

I still works on my PC, but I can't get it to work on my second one using=
=20
sane's network capability.  But this was all working last time I tried it=
=2E =20
At first when I fired up xsane on the second PC all I got was something l=
ike=20
'no devices found'.  After I set /usr/sbin/saned to SUID root I was able =
to=20
get past that.   But now every time I hit preview or scan on the second P=
C I=20
get this error: "Failed to start scanner: Invalid argument".

If I run scanimage I get: "scanimage: sane_start: Invalid argument".

I've got the second PC's IP address in my /etc/sane.d/saned.conf file.  I=
 have=20
the hostname for my machine in the second machine's net.conf file.  I hav=
e my=20
xinet setup also.  My scanner is an Epson Perfection 610, connected to my=
 USB=20
port.

Any ideas?

I've searched for these error messages but haven't been able to come up w=
ith=20
anything.

I don't know how much traffic this list gets, but please CC me if you rep=
ly to=20
the list so I don't miss it.  Thanks,

-Ryan
