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

[oleo]

Sane backends are available for oleg and dd'wrt firmware through Nslu2 Optware feeds. It should work if your scanner is supported. With additional USB key for software, maybe.

Greetings. Has read, but has not understood, how to me to connect the scanner to Asus wl-500gp? Help. Stick with a nose.

Hi all, thanks for the thread. Trying to follow, but the scanner simply would not mount.

Oct 23 23:58:34 kernel: usb.c: registered new driver usbscanner
Oct 23 23:58:34 kernel: scanner.c: 0.4.16:USB Scanner Driver
Oct 23 23:58:34 kernel: scanner.c: probe_scanner: User specified USB scanner -- Vendor:Product - 924:4265

What I'm missing here is a row that says "mounted to scanner0".

sane-find-scanner sees the MFD (Xerox 3119), but scanimage -L wouldn't work.

Possible reasons:
1. I put my username in the xinetd config, but ommited group (simply don't know how to find out what it should be)
2. Xerox 3119 is not supported by Sane (however I saw people working with it in Ubuntu)

If you know what's the problem, thanks in advance for helping me here. Best.

Hi everyone!
Could somebody give me correct /opt/etc/xinetd.d/saned file for samsung 4200 ?
Right now I have this one

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

But it's incorrect, because of errors

To quote a post from earlier in this thread:

It is obvious that you have DOS CR/LF problem. Erase config and type if from scratch using vi.

All the ^M characters you see in the log are linefeed characters. They are probably in the config file because you edited it on a windows/dos (mac?) machine.
Make sure there are no more line feed characters in the file, for instance by starting over using vi.

I'm trying to follow alex_g's suggestions from 23-08-2005 -

6) add the following line to /etc/services:
saned 6566/tcp # SANE network scanner daemon

but I can't seem to edit my /etc/services file. It seems the filesystem is read-only, and I can't figure out how to make it rw. I'm running dd-wrt on an ASUS WL-520GU.

root@asus_router:/# mount
rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)
/dev/root on / type squashfs (ro)
none on /dev type devfs (rw)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
ramfs on /tmp type ramfs (rw)
/dev/mtdblock/4 on /jffs type jffs2 (rw)
/dev/discs/disc0/part1 on /opt type ext3 (rw)

I've tried lots of variations of the "mount" command to change it to rw, including

mount -no rw /

and other similar iterations. Every time I go back and check the status, the root fs is still (ro). Does anyone know how to change this?
