As I understand it, this is an upstream design choice. saned doesn't let users select which scanners to share, it just shares any scanners that it can see. I think if network scanners were shared, then 2 saned instances on the same network get into a loop sharing the same scanner(s) recursively.

Nothing in the SaneDaemonTutorial points out this issue and it certainly wasn't clear to me from the saned manpage that this would be a problem.
