SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) is a sane and simple interface
to both local and networked scanners and other image acquisition devices
like digital still and video cameras. SANE currently includes modules for
accessing a range of scanners, including models from Agfa SnapScan, Apple,
Artec, Canon, CoolScan, Epson, HP, Microtek, Mustek, Nikon, Siemens,
Tamarack, UMAX, Connectix, QuickCams and other SANE devices via network.

For the latest information on SANE, the SANE standard definition, and

This package does not enable network scanning by default; if you wish
to enable it, install the saned package.
