I tried accessing the scanner on my "oldpc" from my "newpc" and also set the permissions on the "oldpc" scanner device to chmod a+rwx
[root_oldpc]> ll /dev/usb/scanner0 crwxrwxrwx 1 root root 180, 48 Jan 30 2003 /dev/usb/scanner0 But I am getting the following open error message. [root_newpc]> scanimage -d net:192.168.1.50:gt68xx:/dev/usb/scanner0 scanimage: open of device net:192.168.1.50:gt68xx:/dev/usb/scanner0 failed: Error during device I/O What else am I missing? -Martin Giuseppe Sacco wrote: >I just found the answer :-) > >scanimage -d net:<IPADDRESS>:<BACKENDNAME>:<LOCALDEVICESPEC> > > > > >
