Finally, you have to go into the file /etc/sane.d/epkowa.conf and uncomment (remove the # sign) one of the last lines at the bottom of the page that begins with #net. and add the network address of your device so that it reads, for example: net 197.168.0.166.

On the 610 you can get this info by going to the menu on the front of the printer, selecting "setup," then "confirm network setting." At the bottom the IP address of your printer/scanner is listed.

You can also print a status sheet from here by hitting the "start" button. This is full of info, like your IP address, device i.d., workgroup name, port in use and so on. It can come in handy.

Put the IP address from here into the epkowa.conf file and save it. You will need privileges to do so, of course. I did not need to change anything in the inet.d file, the sane.d file or any others, as was mentioned in much of the Xsane help.
