You have fundamental misunderstanding about the purpose of net.conf. As
the wiki says:

 Note that the net backend is not for accessing arbitrary
 scanners over a network. It's intended use is for the server
 (which has a SANE-supported scanner) to be able to export that
 scanner to clients on the network via a single SANE-specific,
 manufacturer-agnostic protocol.
