I was able to install the scanner via the usb cable, as a local scanner. But, unfortunately, there is no way of installing the scanner as a network scanner, and sadly, this function is available under windows os. I have checked with the SANE driver compatibility list, and, there it says that this printer has only the function to scan localy, through the usb cable.
I may be missing something, or, there is only support for network printing, but no support for network scanning under Linux, only under windows.
