Nice! Can you give some more information about the setup? That would
certainly be interesting to read for others.
I guess you used sane-backends from pkgsrc? Any other configurations
required?
Which scanner model?
I have an old USB scanner somewhere. Maybe I can try to set it up on a
sandpoint-NAS myself, so we can see if it is a general problem.

I didn't know what a scanner-server is, but I found out that "saned" can
be used to set up such a service.
Ok, so the scanner is already providing a poor quality scan, when
connected to the QNAP, and "saned" is irrelevant.
Can you define "poor"? Is it a lower dpi resolution than expected? Or is
the scan wrong (corrupted or swapped pixels, wrong colors)?

What kind of system is that? Also running NetBSD? Using the same SANE
configuration?
Unfortunately I cannot help you with SANE at all, as I never managed to
install a NetBSD scanner myself. ;)
But it would be very strange when the same scanner delivers different
quality with the same NetBSD and SANE version on different systems. The
USB device driver source is machine-independant, and the QNAP has a
standard NEC D720101 USB chip (OHCI).
My first guess would be different configurations, or a problem with
big-endian in SANE (provided your workstation is little-endian).

Does the scanner really talk SCSI-over-USB?
Just use the same configuration as on your workstation.
