[HowTo] Sane Scanner-Server with XSane Frontend

[carterb]

Hi,

for samsung SCX-4200 you have to edit the following config-file after step 2.3 of the How-To (before you restart your router).

/opt/etc/sane.d/xerox_mfp.conf

You have to insert the following lines at the end of the file:

#Samsung SCX-4200
#   vendor product
usb

Now you must figure out, what is the vendor-id and product-id of your device.
You can do this, by using the following command:

sane-find-scanner

On the output, you find your vendor-id and product-id.

  # 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".

found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9 [Canon], product=0x1713 [MP830]) at libusb:003:003
  # Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by
  # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.

  # Not checking for parallel port scanners.

  # Most Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports
  # can't be detected by this program.

So in this special case, the config-file would look like that:

#xerox_mfp.conf

#Dell MFP Laser Printer 1815dn
usb 0x413c 0x5124

#Xerox Phaser 6110MFP
usb 0x0924 0x3d5d

#Samsung SCX-4200
#   vendor product
usb 0x04a9 0x1713

Please give me a short acknowledgment if this works for you!
