How to scan using SANE from docker container?

I have an old wifi printer/scanner HP Photosmart B209a. I can print and scan from the host machine, but I would like to print and scan from the Docker container.

Printing is working: the image has CUPS installed, I copy /etc/cups/printers.conf from host machine, start cupsd - and viola, printing is fine.

But I don't know how to configure SANE to find the scanner. Where is SANE config located? Which files should I copy from the host machine? Are there any limitations which would prevent my scanner from working from the container?

the problem is that docker has its own network and you need to proxy the snmp requests to find the scanner through the proxy. Maybe you can define the scanner IP in the driver backend, then you are good, if not you have to set the device variable.
