[HowTo] Sane Scanner-Server with XSane Frontend

[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.

Wow, thanks for amazing faq! I followed it to setup printer server for my RT-N16 and it works!

However the conf file for sane server was not properly generated, I had to modify it, but afterwards it works like a charm!

Hi,

what did you have to change at the config file?
