Hi,
I'm not sure how you share the scanner(s) - with saned or if those are
some kind of network scanners.
In case you share these scanners with saned then this article may be
helpful for you.

My understanding is that you have to add scanners' IP addresses in
/etc/sane.d/net.conf
Kind regards
Georgi
