[sane-devel] Xsane can't find network scanner

[MR ZenWiz]

That did not seem to help:

mar at mar8710w:~ $ SANE_DEBUG_HPAIO=100 scanimage -L
[sanei_debug] Setting debug level of hpaio to 100.
[hpaio] sane_hpaio_init(): scan/sane/hpaio.c 338
[hpaio] sane_hpaio_get_devices(local=0): scan/sane/hpaio.c 357

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).
[hpaio] sane_hpaio_exit(): scan/sane/hpaio.c 351

What's next?
