[HowTo] Sane Scanner-Server with XSane Frontend

[carterb]

I saw an error but now it's installed and ok.

What is ok, only xinetd or the scanner-server ??

xinetd now looks good.

xinetd works without errors. the problem about scanimage -L is the same. the sane-find-scanner detect the scanner but the other doesn't

Hi,

please execute the following command and post the log-file:

scanimage -T >> /tmp/sane-log.log

[rmfontes@WL-500gp root]$ scanimage -T >> /tmp/harddisk/sane-log.log
scanimage: no SANE devices found

the log file is empty

Hi,

are you sure that hpaio is listed in:

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

Post the output of:

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

Hi,

I have another idea, how to solve the problem:

I compiled a new version of the sane-backends-wl500.
Download it here. Its just a beta for testing!

Remove your old version with:

ipkg remove sane-backends-wl500

And install the new version like it is explaint in the HowTo.
Attention: Package-name is now:

sane-backends_1.0.20_V1.1_for_AsusWL500gP_mipsel

so you have to customise the install-command.

This version works togehter with the hplip from ipkg-server.

Now remove your hplip-wl500gp:

ipkg remove hplip-wl500gp

And install the version from ipkg-server:

ipkg install hplip

If the following message appears, type "n" for "NO":

Configuration file '/opt/etc/sane.d/dll.conf'
    ==> File on system created by you or by a script.
    ==> File also in package provided by package maintainer.
       What would you like to do about it ?  Your options are:
        Y or I  : install the package maintainer's version
        N or O  : keep your currently-installed version
          D     : show the differences between the versions (if diff is installed)
     The default action is to keep your current version.
    *** dll.conf (Y/I/N/O/D) [default=N] ?n
Configuring hplip

Again check if the entry hpaio is in /opt/etc/sane.d/dll.conf:

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

if the output is empty just type:

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

And again:

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

Now it should be in

Restart and test if it works.

i followed the new how to and the problem is the same

Hi,

just to be sure, you have the latest router firmware installed?

I have the oleg 1.9.2.7-d-r617.
Do I nedd to configure xinetd? yesterday I configured because in the installation process I was told and I tested and the result was the same. Today I saw an error:

Jan  1 00:00:53 xinetd[174]: missing service keyword [file=/opt/etc/xinetd.d/saned] [line=1]
Jan  1 00:00:53 xinetd[174]: 174 {init_services} no services. Exiting...

Today I erased the information on the /opt/etc/xinetd.d/saned file and tested and the result is still the same

[carterb]

Hi,

open the file:

/opt/etc/xinetd.d/saned

and add the following line at the top of the file.

service saned

It should look someting like this but with your "root"-user in it:

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

Restart the router and try again.

with

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

i get

Oct  9 16:54:29 xinetd[187]: Port not specified and can't find service: saned with getservbyname
Oct  9 16:54:29 xinetd[187]: 187 {init_services} no services. Exiting...

If I add the port = 6566 on the file I get

Oct  9 16:58:59 xinetd[187]: service/protocol combination not in /etc/services: saned/tcp
Oct  9 16:58:59 xinetd[187]: 187 {init_services} no services. Exiting...

so I checked the /etc/services file and I have at the end

# Local services

sane-port               6566/tcp        # SANE network scanner daemon

I also got

[rmfontes@WL-500gp root]$ scanimage -L
scanimage: '/opt/lib/sane/libsane-hpaio.so.1' is not an ELF file
scanimage: '/opt/lib/sane/libsane-hpaio.so.1' is not an ELF file

[carterb]

Hi yes, you have to change the service name to "saned":

# Local services

saned               6566/tcp        # SANE network scanner daemon

And do a restart.

Hi,

you also have to change the following file:

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

Has to look like that:

#!/bin/sh

PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/opt/bin:/opt/sbin

if !( grep -q ^saned /etc/services ); then
        echo "saned             6566/tcp        # SANE network scanner daemon" >> /etc/serv
fi

Restart.

I change this and I save the file and then the flashfs and I reboot but after the reboot the name backs to sane-port. I don't know what to do

[carterb]

Hi, did you also do that:
