[HowTo] Sane Scanner-Server with XSane Frontend

**carterb** · 28-10-2009, 20:09

Hi,

nice to hear

I included a new git snapshot of sane-backends. Developer changed something in epson2 backend.

Essential is, it works!!!!

Please do some testing and report your results.

Regards
Oliver

It works great for now. If I find some bugs, I'll write it here

Hi.
sane-find-scanner detects the scanner:

Code:

found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0 [HP], product=0x4c11 [PSC 1500 series]) at libusb:001:002

scanimage -L detects the scanner:

Code:

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

I followed the how to for XSane for Windows but it doesn't detect any scanner. I use windows 7.
I have it on C: and I changed the IP for my router

I saw this error on the log:

Code:

Oct 28 21:06:45 syslog: scan/sane/io.c 53: dBus Connection Error (Failed to connect to socket /opt/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory)!

Hi,

It works yesterday (27/10) with the older backends (after manual install of libieee1284).

Today I upgraded sane-backends:

Code:

ipkg update

Code:

ipkg upgrade

And it keeps on working - many, many thanks!

I am prepared now for a complete switch to linux, I don't need m$ anymore on my own PC's.

Tested with:

ASUS wl500g Premium
Epson Stylus Photo RX 520
Windows XP with Xsane on AMD Athlon desktop
Ubuntu Netbook Remix (Karmic) with Xsane on Hercules EC-900

Hi,

@rm_fontes: Try a:

Code:

ipkg install dbus
ipkg install dbus-glib

Hi. Sorry I only had time to work on this project now... sane-find-scanner detects the scanner but scanimage -L doesn't... ( I have an HP psc 1500)

I have the sane from post http://wl500g.info/showpost.php?p=163609&postcount=21 and hplip from ipkg

I checked on all thread for info and I have the xinetd working with no errors

I have hplip version 2.8.12-1.

Any help? thanks

edit: I have sane server from ipkg because when i install hplip, sane installs too. if i have sane from the post installed i can't install hplip

Hi,

please remove all packages , that are not from ipkg-server.
The packages I posted in this Thread were only for testing. You have to use the optware-package from ipkg-server now.
So please:

Code:

ipkg remove sane-backends
ipkg remove sane-backends-wl500
ipkg remove hplip
ipkg remove hplip-wl500
ipkg remove hplip-wl500gp

And now make a clean install of sane-backends and hplip:

Code:

ipkg install sane-backends
ipkg install hplip
ipkg install dbus
ipkg install dbus-glib

After that, restart your router and check again, if the scanner gets found.

Regards
Oliver

I did it exactly as your howto says, but without success - I get this from sane-find-scanner:

Code:

found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [Language Error], product=0x083f [Language Error]) at libusb:001:002

scanimage -L :

Code:

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 have an Epson DX 4400 scanner/printer combo, printing (somehow - printer mustn't be in standby mode, otherwise > printer shutdown) works...

EDIT:
here is the output of xinetd -d

Code:

EDIT 2
I made the xinetd + saned running (well, I'm so brilliant that I forgot to chmod +x the post-boot and other scripts), thus eliminated the problem in 1st EDIT, but outputs from sane-find-scanner and scanimage -L remains unchanged. I tried commenting the epson2 backend and using epson, but no improvement. Is there a compiled epkowa backend available?

**carterb** · 18-01-2010, 11:05

Hi,

please post your xinetd-saned file:

Code:

vi /opt/etc/xinetd.d/saned

Seems to me that the reason for the error lies there...

Oliver
