I'm trying to follow the instructions here to set up remote scanning |
| 2 |
across my network: |

http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Installing_USB_Scanner |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
The USB scanner is detected locally with 'sane-find-scanner -q' and |
| 7 |
'scanimage -L' but not remotely. I'm sure I have a misconfiguration |
| 8 |
somewhere as I didn't really understand the remote access part of the |
| 9 |
instructions I was following. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
I have this in /etc/group: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
scanner:x:411:saned |
| 14 |
saned:x:412:saned |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
xinetd is installed, but at least some of its files were accidentally |
| 17 |
created with group 'scanner'. I don't know if that makes a |
| 18 |
difference. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
I commented this: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
only_from = localhost |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
in /etc/xinetd.conf. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
There is a list of iptables rules to be applied like: |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
[0:0] -A INPUT -m recent --update --seconds 600 --name SANE |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
I don't know how to do that, so I skipped it, but I stopped iptables |
| 31 |
before testing the remote scanner detection. I created |
| 32 |
/etc/xinet.d/sane-port and started xinetd, but /var/log/daemon.log |
| 33 |
doesn't exist. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
On the remote system, I installed xsane which pulled in sane-backends |
| 36 |
and I added 192.168.0.1 to /etc/sane.d/net.conf but 'scanimage -L' |
| 37 |
doesn't detect the scanner. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
If anyone can point out any possible errors in this process I would |
| 40 |
really appreciate it. |
