Agreed...bad form...no excuse.
"scanimage -L" on the client did not show the scanner whereas on the
server it did. I tried from both root and non-root users.
"doesn't work" could range from "can't see the scanner at all" to
"always produces a black image" to "inexplicably fills the room with
rabid weasels".
Based on this (from the reference) "The server will now be sharing the
USB connected scanner with other designated machines on the network. " I
would have expected to be able to see the scanner on the client in the
scanimage output without having to do anything else. On the Bullseye
instance the scanimage output did show the scanner with no additional steps.
Thank you for the feedback.
