[HowTo] Sane Scanner-Server with XSane Frontend

[adek24]

hi
I found that install scanner.o to modules but I have other kernel :

Using //opt/lib/modules/2.4.37.7/kernel/drivers/usb/scanner.o
//opt/lib/modules/2.4.37.7/kernel/drivers/usb/scanner.o: error reading ELF section data //opt/lib/modules/2.4.37.7/kernel/drivers/usb/scanner.o: No space left on device

but in free i have:

$ free
              total         used         free       shared      buffers
  Mem:        29960        27556         2404            0          720

hi, i finally got time to do install everything from the beginning. I got from sane-find-scanner

found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0 [HP], product=0x4c11 [PSC 1500 series]) at libusb:001:003

and from scanimage -L

 device `hpaio:/usb/PSC_1500_series?serial=MY5ADD13KM0498' is a Hewlett-Packard PSC_1500_series all-in-one

.
from scanimage -T i got

process 380: arguments to dbus_connection_send() were incorrect, assertion "connection != NULL" failed in file dbus-connection.c line 3141.
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

I searched on the forum for this and found http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=20098.
Is it possible to make the hp dsc 1510 work without dbus?

I also trying to get samsung scx-4200 working, first all look fine scanimage is working just fine so driver is working. But can't connect from my desktop computer to scanner, telnet to port 6566 can't connect.

added /etc/service "saned 6566/tcp" because that not been there but no help, and /opt/etc/init.d/S01sane-backends look just correct.

So now im just out of idea what im doing wrong, so little help is welcome. Only diffrence to tutorial is my firmware is koppel made if that marks anything.

EDIT: Checked all again and noticed that port again lost from /etc/service/saned file after i reboot my router, so what to do to correct this problem?

Xinetd -d Also give erros and not to start.

EDIT: Full reinstall helps and scanner is working now, not know what was wrong previusly, noticed my router network connection have random dropouts (ipkg give random unknow host errors) problem is on 500gp side, network connection is working fine other computers.

Hi,

@rm_fontes: I have to ask the sane-mailing-list again. Don't know whats the problem...

Hi, everyone

I have installed everything like in 1st post, but when I start front-end xsane.exe i recieve answer that there is no devices.

IP of my router 192.168.1.1. I start scan from 192.168.1.31

this is my log
17:43:53 22-05-2010 (info|authpriv|xinetd) xinetd[448]: START: saned pid=1267 from=192.168.1.31

17:43:55 22-05-2010 (debug|daemon|saned) saned[1267]: saned exiting

as far as i understand there is not enough permissions. but where??


/opt/etc/sane.d/saned.conf

#scan-client.somedomain.firm
#192.168.1.1
192.168.1.0/31
#[2001:7a8:185e::42:12]
#[2001:7a8:185e::42:12]/64 

/opt/etc/xinetd.d/saned

service saned

        socket_type = stream
        server = /opt/sbin/saned
        protocol = tcp
        user = root
        group = root
        wait = no
        disable = no 

attachment my net.conf from hard drive

[bef]

Try
192.168.1.0/24 instead of 31 (/31 means all but the last bit are fixed therefore only 192.168.1.1 is allowed to connect to the server)

[IgorBelii]

thanks

my /opt/etc/sane.d/saned.conf looks like:

#scan-client.somedomain.firm
#192.168.1.1
192.168.1.2/24
#[2001:7a8:185e::42:12]
#[2001:7a8:185e::42:12]/64 

now I can scan from all the PC and notebooks in my net.

Router: RT-N16, Firmware: tomato-K26USB-1.27.9045MIPSR2-beta11-vpn3.6, Printer: HP LJ M1319f MFP
All clients connected to router can print.

Installed the following (in that sequence): libusb, libtiff, libjpeg, libpng, libieee1284, xinetd, sane-backends, hplip

Output of all diagnostic tests (..xinetd.d/saned, ../sane.d/dll.conf, ../init.d/S01sane-backends, etc.) in attached file.

== output of sane-find-scanner ==>
found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0, product=0x5817) at libusb:001:002

== output of scanimage -L ==>
No scanners were identified.

I would appreciate any help in getting this to work. I am happy to test ideas...

Hi,

sorry I was out of town.
I will look for a solution.

[chuckwhite]

Looking at the sane-devel mailing list it appears a couple of folks had their HP scanner issues go away by using a later version of HPLIP. example

The current version is 3.10.x [link]. The version which has been compiled for the routers is 2.8.x (link)

Would it be possible to compile the latest version?

[carterb]

Hi,

I will take a look on that.
Maybe I can maintain hplip (or ask the person who maintains it) and make a newer version.

Regards
Oliver

[carterb]

Hi,

I compiled a new version of hplip for the wl500.
Version is: 3.9.2

Would be nice if you could give it a try and post your experiences. To install it do the following:

Remove the old version of hplip:

ipkg remove hplip

Download the new version of hplip:
http://rapidshare.com/files/39484398...2-1_mipsel.ipk

Install the new version:

ipkg install /storagelocation/of_downloaded/file/hplip_3.9.2-1_mipsel.ipk

If you are asked to edit the dll.conf of sane, type:

Y

Check if the following entry is in /opt/etc/sane.d/dll.conf

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

If the output is empty, add the entry:

echo "hpaio">>/opt/etc/sane.d/dll.conf

Restart:

flashfs save && flashfs commit && flashfs enable && reboot

Please post your experiences!!!

Regards
Oliver

Thanks for compiling this version. I used wget to download it to my router and then when I try to install, I get:
ipkg: invalid magic
Any ideas what the issue might be? Thanks.
