Can't Network Scanner (Epson 1250) Using SANED (In Slackware 12.2)
Hi.
...Probably being totally stupid (my apologies in advance), but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong: here's the setup.
To do this, I used SANE (version 1.0.19) and the plustek backend. I commented out all entries in the /etc/sane.d/dll.conf file except "net" and "plustek". The only other alteration I made was the following: /etc/sane.d/plustek.conf Code:
# My addition for Epson Perfection 1250 I also set up the other machine identically, and tried the scanner on it (physically unplugging it and plugging it in) --- it worked fine. So, no problems getting the scanner working... However, I'd like to be able to scan over the network. On the machine connected to the scanner (which I'll call the server), I've done the following: I've created a group called saned and a user called saned. The saned user belongs to the groups saned and scanner. Here are the changes I've made to the configuration files on the server: /etc/services Code:
sane-port 6566/tcp #SANE network scanner daemon Code:
sane-port stream tcp nowait saned.saned /usr/sbin/saned saned Code:
192.168.0.1/64 Finally, on the client, I've made the following addition: /etc/sane.d/net.conf: Code:
Jeremiah When I run sane-find-scanner on the client, no scanner is found. However, when I run netcat on the client... Code:
nc -v Jeremiah 6566 Code:
Jeremiah.Junkyard [192.168.0.1] 6566 (sane-port) open ...So whaddami doing wrong?! I've Googled for help, to no avail. I searched here, and found these two articles, which helped clarify a few things, but I'm still stuck. So, in desperation, I've registered, and hereby make known my plight... I'm not sure whether this is the best section in which to post the problem: if not, I apologise, and would appreciate it if someone could give me some pointers. Finally, if my post's a total dog's dinner, please forgive me --- though I've been running Linux for years, I'm a real chump and definitely don't have the computing-gene. Any help gratefully received, Paul. |
Got it working --- after over a week's wrestling with it (and no replies :( )...
The offending line was the one in /etc/saned.conf: Code:
192.168.0.1/64 Code:
192.168.0.1/16 I set up the other machine in the same way (with a suitably modified /etc/net.conf) and now I can scan over the network, regardless of which machine the scanner's physically connected to (quite handy, given how often the gear's shuffled around here). ...So now my setup is all exactly as planned. Hurrah. Hope this helps someone out there (feel free to let me know if it does --- if only to demonstrate that I'm not talking to myself :rolleyes: ). Paul. |
