Nicolas George appears to have ruled out using saned on a server. There isn't a protocol specific to libsane-hpaio, not unless you are thinking of DNS-SD/mDNS, which are standard protocols. > Discovery is hence not performed by SANE but by the `libsane-hpaio` > backend itself. Ok; I'll go with that. > IOW he wants/needs to use `libsane-hpaio` on the client rather than on > the server. Indeed. We have now briefly discussed the only two techniques possible to achieve Nicolas George's objective. -- Brian.
