My Photosmart C5180 All-In-One scanner isn't be detected anymore by xsane. But it still can print and I found that I can use the scanner if I use the command
Code:
$ xsane -V hpaio:/net/Photosmart_C5100_series?ip=192.168.2.101

Previously I had it work just by running xsane and it would detect image devices. How could I have it do that again? I've searched in the Wiki and here in the forum but most sane posts I found are about locally connected scanners. Can someone help me? Here are some outputs:

Code:
# sane-find-scanner

  # sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the
  # result is different from what you expected, first make sure your
  # scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer.

  # No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that
  # you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.

  # No USB scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that
  # you have loaded a kernel driver for your USB host controller and have setup
  # the USB system correctly. See man sane-usb for details.

  # Not checking for parallel port scanners.

  # Most Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports
  # can't be detected by this program.


Code:
# scanimage -L

No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
