 |
|
Hello again,
I have set up a server to make my printer and scanner available to the network. My scanner is the Agfa SnapScan 1236U, plugged into the usb of the server. The server seems to work properly, since on my dual-boot-other-linux Debian, all I had to do is to edit the net.conf | Code: | cat /etc/sane.d/net.conf
# This is the net backend config file.
## net backend options
# Timeout for the initial connection to saned. This will prevent the backend
# from blocking for several minutes trying to connect to an unresponsive
# saned host (network outage, host down, ...). Value in seconds.
# connect_timeout = 60
## saned hosts
# Each line names a host to attach to.
# If you list "localhost" then your backends can be accessed either
# directly or through the net backend. Going through the net backend
# may be necessary to access devices that need special privileges.
# localhost
192.168.0.1 |
This file does not exist on my Gentoo client after installation of the frontend | Code: | emerge -pv sane-backends
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild R ] media-gfx/sane-backends-1.0.25-r1::gentoo USE="nls usb -doc -gphoto2 -ipv6 -snmp -systemd -threads -v4l -xinetd -zeroconf" ABI_X86="(64) -32 (-x32)" SANE_BACKENDS="snapscan -abaton -agfafocus -apple -artec -artec_eplus48u -as6e -avision -bh -canon -canon630u -canon_dr -canon_pp -cardscan -coolscan -coolscan2 -coolscan3 -dc210 -dc240 -dc25 -dell1600n_net -dmc -epjitsu -epson -epson2 -fujitsu -genesys -gt68xx -hp -hp3500 -hp3900 -hp4200 -hp5400 -hp5590 -hpljm1005 -hpsj5s -hs2p -ibm -kodak -kodakaio -kvs1025 -kvs20xx -kvs40xx -leo -lexmark -ma1509 -magicolor -matsushita -microtek -microtek2 -mustek -mustek_pp -mustek_usb -mustek_usb2 -nec -net -niash -p5 -pie -pixma -plustek -plustek_pp -pnm -qcam -ricoh -rts8891 -s9036 -sceptre -sharp -sm3600 -sm3840 -sp15c -st400 -stv680 -tamarack -teco1 -teco2 -teco3 {-test} -u12 -umax -umax1220u -umax_pp -xerox_mfp" |
and | Code: | emerge -pv xsane
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild R ] media-gfx/xsane-0.999-r2::gentoo USE="jpeg lcms nls ocr png tiff -gimp" 0 KiB |
So I created /etc/sane.d/net.conf and filled it with the server information as on the Debian system.
Scanimage -L immediately returns no scanners found. Compared to the Debian system, where this command kept the system for several seconds busy, it implies to me that it was not searching the network.
What is missing, a USE flag, a package?

The SANE wiki should be updated!
The simple solution is:
emerge -pv sane-backends returns a list of scanner drivers following SANE-BACKENDS="..."
This includes the net driver, kind of hidden. It needs to be included in addition to your scanner driver.
The line in the global make.conf should look like this: | Code: | cat /etc/portage/make.conf
...
...
SANE_BACKENDS="driver-for-your-scanner net" |
That's it. Rebuilt (or install) sane-backends and it is all there. The /etc/sane.d/net.conf only needs to be amended by the servers ip-address, and your done.
Bonne soirée à tous
