[How-To] Sane Scanner-Server with XSane Frontend

**fondpiggy** · 22-02-2011, 03:17

I have a HP Officejet J5788 scanner. I want sharing it on openwrt box.

openwrt firmware: KAMIKAZE (bleeding edge, r19957)
scanner: HP Officejet J5788 all-in-one
installed module:
hplip - 3.9.12-1
sane-backends - 1.0.20-2
sane-frontends - 1.0.20-2
sane-libs - 1.0.20-2

root@OpenWrt:~# scanimage -L
device `hpaio:/usb/Officejet_J5700_series?serial=CN82BCV1BC04T1' is a Hewlett-Packard Officejet_J5700_series all-in-one

root@OpenWrt:~# scanimage -T
scanimage: open of device hpaio:/usb/Officejet_J5700_series?serial=CN82BCV1BC04T1 failed: Device busy

Who can help me? Thanks

Sane-backends-1.0.22 has been released a few weeks ago. Anyone knows when it will be available via ipkg?

I intently viewed the forum

and solution was found:
http://wl500g.info/showpost.php?p=189850&postcount=108
I had the same symptoms as described in http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=20098.
I changed dbus from 1.2.16-1 to 1.1.1-3.

Thus I came to current working condition through installing the following packages:
libusb - 0.1.12-2
libtiff - 3.9.4-1
libjpeg - 6b-3
libieee1284 - 0.2.11-1
sane-backends - 1.0.21-1
cups - 1.4.4-1
dbus - 1.1.1-3 (from http://wl500g.info/showpost.php?p=202794&postcount=12)
hplip - 3.9.2-1 (from http://wl500g.info/showpost.php?p=199955&postcount=119)

Else.
I had to add one line into post-boot script.

Code:

rm /opt/var/run/dbus/*

During the router starting /opt/etc/init.d/S20dbus do not examine whether daemon has already started or not.
If there is PID file in /opt/var/run/dbus/ S20dbus suppose daemon has already started. To be sure it actually starts we need to remove PID file before S20dbus is execute.
(Idea was peeped here)

Many thanks to Oliver for the How-To (and for XSane too)!

This works for me too (HP PSC 1510) but I noticed that when I start Xsane, the printer disconnect herself (kernel: printer.c: usblp0: removed), so I won't be able to print until I reboot or disconnect and connect the printer again. Any solution?
I also would like to have xsane or similar on Android? Is it possible?

Hi all

I had difficulties in figuring out how to make the scanner work over the network.

Router: ASUS RT-N16
Firmware: Tomato v1.28.9054 MIPSR2-beta K26 USB Ext
I installed all the packages mentioned in the thread but with no luck to get the scanner working

sane-find-scanner could find the scanner
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04f9, product=0x01e7) at libusb:001:003

but scanimage -L could not identify the scanner:
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).

I found the drivers at brother website but they are in .deb and .rpm format and could not be installed

Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you!

SANE + HPLIP 3.11.3a-1 + Tomato v1.28.8754 ND USB Std + Hp Deskjet F380 (F300 series) only works with small scan areas.

The problem is also related to DPIs, but I can't manage to get one full page with 75 DPI, which is the lowest possible.

If i get a small area (around 1/4 of the full glass) it will scan at some times, if i increase the DPI, it won't scan. I will get an Error during device I/O, even if I try to scan directly from scanimage.

I would like to have the scanner function of my AiO printer working, at least to scan the full glass in low resolutions (<=150).

I can't load previews as well.

I thought it could be a memory problem, since it does scan small areas, but it is not, in fact, the memory usage doesn't increase much during the scan, I even created a 128MB swap partition in my flash drive (was afraid of doing so, since it would wear it quickly, will probably remove now), but it didn't change anything, it still doesn't scan with more than 55% of the router's memory (16MB) free and more than 97% of the swap memory free.

I would also like to know where else should I look for a solution to this issue, already googled for hours and hours... Maybe someone could recommend me another forum or place to ask for help.

Thanks all in advance for your effort in helping me out,

Igor Campos

Here are my configuration files:

/opt/etc/sane.d/dll.conf

Code:

Everything is configured properly, I got the dbus and cups installed since both are required for hplip to work properly.

Here are some other files, that shows what happens:

Hi All, thanks for the guide. I've got Xerox WorkCentre 3119 which is said to be supported. Made quite a few attempts trying to make it work - no luck so far. Tried almost everything including re-installation from scratch.

lindalion, dccharacter, I have same problem with Samsung SCX-3185.

It's because sane 1.0.22 have an issue in xerox_mfp module. I have applied patch from (it can be downloaded from http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=...3fa63e0a25b3f7), recompiled xerox_mfp using toolchain (file attached) and placed it into /opt/lib/sane.

After that my scanner is detected by xerox_mfp module, but now i have timeout error in sanei_usb.

Most interesting log fragment:

Same error in rtn-r3702 (2.6 kernel) and d-r2624 (2.4 kernel).

I belive the problem can be in sanei_usb or libusb, but I can't recompile it yet.

Finally, I get it worked!!!

Second problem was in libusb. Simple recompiling has solved issue.

How to install:

1. Download xerox_mfp_wl500.tar.bz2 from attach and place it into /tmp dir on your wl.
2. Unpack it and install:

Code:

cd /tmp
tar jxf xerox_mfp_wl500.tar.bz2
./install

Now you can do scanimage -L and so on.

I am so hoping someone can help me here because I sure as heck won't get any help on any of the DD-WRT forums. I have and HP PSC 1610 printer/scanner combo. I have followed all the directions here and even gone with the older version of dbus but to no avail. I am still getting this error. Any help would be appreciated.

root@DD-WRT:~# scanimage -T
process 15247: arguments to dbus_connection_send() were incorrect, assertion "connection != NULL" failed in file dbus-connection.c line 3046.
This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.
D-Bus not compiled with backtrace support so unable to print a backtrace
Aborted

Hoping you can help!

Hi there, i have installed sane-backend as per instructions, but it turns out my printer/scanner (canon mp280) is not supported in sane-backends 1.0.22. But the 1.0.23git (http://www.sane-project.org/lists/sane- ... ml#S-PIXMA) does support it.

Is there any way to get the un-released sane-backends (1.0.23git) created into an ipkg?

"bind failed (Address already in use (errno = 98)). service = saned"

**!gm** · 05-09-2012, 00:38

hm ipkg is death... you can upgrade to our, etnware called new repository and cross-compile the software yourself

**Bogie67** · 14-09-2012, 00:47

I am only a newbie to understand that complex thing. The Sane-backends 1.0.23 comes out and need someone help to update the repositories
