====== Scanserver ======
If you have a Raspberry Pi or NUC with a connected scanner, you can easily share it to your network.

===== Server installation and configuration =====
  - Install ''saned'': <code>sudo apt install sane</code>
  - Edit ''/etc/default/saned'' and set ''RUN'' to ''yes''.
  - After the installation go to the dicectory ''/etc/sane.d'' and edit the ''saned.conf''. Add the following line to allow scanning from your network: <code>aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd/mm</code>
  - If you also use IPv6 add this line as well: <code>[aaaa:bbbb:cccc:dddd::]/mm</code>
  - So, for example (these are not real IP addresses of course): <code>192.168.123.0/24</code><code>[2001:db8::]/64</code>
  - Afterwards, restart ''saned'' <code>/etc/init.d/saned restart</code>

And you should be good to go.

===== Client configuration =====
On the client side installation and configuration is even easier. Just install sane and maybe simple-scan (great application!), afterwards edit the ''/etc/sane.d/net.conf'' and add (e.g. as a last line) the name or IP address of your server.

That's is, now you're good to go!
