SANE (Scanner server) - Any chance for WL-500g?

Hi,

I tried to connect my HP Scanjer 3500C to my WL-500G Deluxe.
I have followed this howto:

Quote:

1) I had to recompile the sources in order to get the missing scanner.o kernel module (you can recompile the sources for yourself or I can send you the module; just mail me your email adress )

-> trying an "insmod scanner" -> result:

usb.c: registered new driver usbscanner
scanner.c: USB scanner device (0x04a9/0x220d) now attached to scanner0
scanner.c: 0.4.16:USB Scanner Driver
so far so good...

now you can try sane-find-scanner and check if your scanner is found

2) ipkg install xinetd (from unslung)
3) ipkg install sane-backends (from unslung)
4) remove all files from /opt/etc/xinetd.d:
rm /opt/etc/xinetd.d/*
5) create a new file in /opt/etc/xinetd.d/ called saned containing the following lines:

service saned
{
port = 6566
socket_type = stream
server = /opt/sbin/saned
protocol = tcp
user = root
group = root
wait = no
disable = no
}

6) add the following line to /etc/services:
saned 6566/tcp # SANE network scanner daemon
7) copy /etc/services to /usr/local/etc/services
8) edit /opt/etc/sane.d/saned.conf:
add the following line (after adapting it to your network):
192.168.1.0/24 #grant access to scanner from network 192.168.1.x
9) finally edit /usr/local/sbin/post-boot and add the following lines:

insmod scanner # load scanner module first
cp /usr/local/etc/services /etc/services # copy the previously modified services file to /etc
/opt/sbin/xinetd # start xinetd as wrapper for saned

10) finally.. (pooh) do a

flashfs save && flashfs commit && flashfs enable

11) reboot

Everything looks fine in systemlog:

I have tried to scan from my windows PC with Sanetwain, it says "connected to 192.168.1.2" , but give a time out!!
And when i try that, the system log give:

that's looks ok...

Can anyone help me? :)

Ok, it works now...don't know what was wrong :confused: but.. it's very slowly!

Microtek ScanMaker 3600 doesn't work

Hi!

I have a Microtek ScanMaker 3600 scanner, but it doesn't work with my WL500gx router.

It is my scanner in /proc/bus/usb/devices:

Output of dmesg | grep scanner*

usb.c: registered new driver usbscanner
scanner.c: 0.4.16:USB Scanner Driver

Why doesn't recognize the kernel my scanner?

Sorry for my poor english... :-(

Problem fixed. I wrote in post-boot:

Code:

insmod /opt/scanner/scanner.o vendor=0x05da product=0x40b3

So sane finds my scanner.

But I have got a new problem: xinetd can't start service sane.

Output of xinetd -d :

Code:

Exiting...

Any idea?

yeah, you forgot to copy the /etc/services thingy.

Code:

add the following line to /etc/services: saned 6566/tcp # SANE network scanner daemon copy /etc/services to /usr/local/etc/services edit /usr/local/sbin/post-boot and add the following lines: insmod scanner # load scanner module first cp /usr/local/etc/services /etc/services # copy the previously modified services

if the /etc/services file does not have an entry saned 6566/tcp in it it moans about no services.

hope this helps.

cheers,

Wiz

p.s. you can check with grep saned /etc/services. If it is not there, copy /etc/services to /usr/local/etc/services, and add the entry. Do not forget to do a flashfs save, flashfs commit and flashfs enable.

No, it's OK. But I'm stupid. If xinetd already runs, then "xinetd -d" can't start again sane... :-(

Now I have a new failure notice:

Code:

[sm3600] sane_start: Error during device I/O [sm3600] cancel called... [sm3600] closing scanner [sm3600] Error status: 9, Timeout while waiting for CSTAT

What have I to do?

remove the vendor statements from the insmod statement for the scanner.o file. maybe that helps?

what does scanimage -L say?

No. The scanner.o finds nothing without the vendor statements.

sounds like sane does know your scanner.

What I find strange is that you have to supply the vendor statements in order to get it running. My scanner is an HP 3400C and all I do is load scanner.o and that's it.

According to sane website it states your scanner is basically supported:

http://www.sane-project.org/

I don't have any idea why yours does not work.

What can I do if my scanner is not supported by SANE without a external backend (driver)? My scanner is a Brother DCP-115C.

can't start sane service

I installed sane-backends on my 500gP with Oleg firmware.
I can't start service for sane, when I try xinetd -d I've got:

Code:

07/8/5@02:40:39: DEBUG: 190 {handle_includedir} Reading included configuration file: /opt/etc/xinetd.d/saned [file=/opt/etc/xinetd.conf] [line=15] Service defaults Instances = 60 CPS = max conn:25 wait:30 Bind = All addresses.

Exiting...

and command "sane-find-scanner", I got:

Code:

[admin@ThiraBox root]$ 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. # Also you need support for SCSI Generic (sg) in your operating system. # If using Linux, try "modprobe sg". # 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. # SANE has been built without libusb support. This may be a reason # for not detecting USB scanners. Read README for more 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. [admin@ThiraBox root]$

my scanner.o is in /opt/scanner/scanner.o
and add "insmod /opt/scanner/scanner.o" in my /usr/local/sbin/post-boot

my /opt/etc/init.d/S01sane-backends is

Code:

#!/bin/sh PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/opt/bin:/opt/sbin if !( grep -q ^sane-port /etc/services ); then echo "saned 6566/tcp # SANE network scanner daemon" >> /etc/services fi

Part of my Systemlog is

Code:

Aug 5 03:08:33 kernel: Adding Swap: 514040k swap-space (priority -1) Aug 5 03:08:33 kernel: usb.c: registered new driver usbscanner Aug 5 03:08:33 kernel: scanner.c: 0.4.16:USB Scanner Driver Aug 5 03:08:33 System log daemon exiting.

How can I fix this. Many thanks for help.

Great Howto!

I followed this tutorial, and works as a charm!

HP 6300c

with Sanetwain.
No problems at all.
(I still have to create post-boot additions)

I think I will include /etc/services in /usr/local/.files before flashfs save
Looks the easiest solution to me...

does this firmware work with asus-w500g Premium ???
need connect scanner-printer canon ir1018
i need scanning and printing too

Epson scanner

I have Epson scanner V200. The above mentioned procedure is not applicable for it.
I suppose that I need Epson back-end. The source files are on EPKOWA web: http://www.avasys.jp/english/linux_e/dl_scan.html
I am not able to compile it (I am not expert). Can anybody able to compile it?
Please help me. Thanks.

Hm. Mail me more details on this backend.
