I am using the excellent AirSane (sadly unpackaged for Debian): https://github.com/SimulPiscator/AirSane In order to get it to work, I had to increase MaxConnections to 2 for the scanbm.socket systemd unit file. I am sorry, it took me about 8 hours of work to get scanbd functional (I will be filing other bug reports that I hope are helpful), so I did not investigate this issue further to work out exactly what the problem is; but raising MaxConnections by 1 seems a fairly simple and low-risk workaround, if indeed there is a bug somewhere here.
