I have a xerox printer and it works for me properly try to see if your printer model is supported
what model you have ?? I have installed in this way

Code:

sudo adduser root scanner

Code:

sudo adduser root saned

Code:

apt-get install inetutils-inetd sane-utils

Code:

gedit /etc/inetd.conf

add this line
sane-port stream tcp nowait saned:saned /usr/sbin/saned saned
save and exit

Code:

sudo gedit /etc/services

see in the text if is present this line
sane-port 6566/tcp sane saned # SANE network scanner daemon
if is not present add here
save and exit

Code:

sudo gedit /etc/default/saned

set to yes to start saned
RUN=yes
save and exit

Code:

sudo gedit /etc/sane.d/saned.conf

in text find and replace
#data_portrange = 10000 - 10100
in
data_portrange = 10000 - 10100
find
## Access list
and add this line (in my case router have ip 192.168.1.1 change ip for your network )
192.168.1.0/24
127.0.0.1
save and exit

Code:

sudo gedit /etc/sane.d/net.conf

in text find and replace
# connect_timeout = 60
in
connect_timeout = 60
save and exit

Code:

sudo gedit /etc/sane.d/xerox_mfp.conf

find in text
#xerox_mfp.conf
and replace whit
xerox_mfp
tcp wc3220 9400

Code:

service inetutils-inetd restart

Code:

sudo service saned restart

Code:

sane-find-scanner

Code:

scanimage -L

if not work try to reboot
and type again

Code:

sudo service saned restart

Code:

scanimage -L
