SANE is the collection of scanner drivers
Xsane is a GUI program (crude but powerful) that is from the same project. simplescan is a lot simpler.
Any scanning software needs to find the scanner. googling will show you the drill (which I don't remember).

I didn't use a GUI for setting up my Brother printer/scanner. There was a gui involved in telling the scanning software where the driver is.
What I think that I did:
- installed brscan4 binary
- brsaneconfig4 -a name=BrotherScanner model=DCP-7065dn ip=192.168.2.12 (a different IP)
- brsaneconfig4 -q First device is numbered 0.
Remember to put a hole in your firewall. UDP 54925, I think.
Got all the tasks but the last one. I thought that the firewall is on the outside of my network and my url (slightly different that the one listed) is on my network. Could this be the entire issue? Dee
