But on FreeBSD, xsane doesn't find the scanner automatically.
If I try just 'xsane' it says "no devices available".
If I try 'xsane epson2:net:10.1.161.8' it works.
This makes it hard to use as a GIMP plugin. I tried a few things:
tingo at kg-v2$ SANE_NET_HOSTS="10.1.161.8" xsane
tingo at kg-v2$ SANE_NET_HOSTS="epson2:net:10.1.161.8" xsane
tingo at kg-v2$ SANE_DEFAULT_DEVICE="epson2:net:10.1.161.8" xsane
but none of them worked ("no devices available" again).
All this on:
tingo at kg-v2$ uname -a
FreeBSD kg-v2.kg4.no 8.1-STABLE FreeBSD 8.1-STABLE #3: Thu Sep 16
22:18:48 CEST 2010 root at kg-v2.kg4.no:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC
amd64
tingo at kg-v2$ xsane -v
xsane-0.998 (c) 1998-2010 Oliver Rauch
E-mail: Oliver.Rauch at xsane.org
package xsane-0.996
compiled with GTK-2.22.1
with color management function
with GIMP support, compiled with GIMP-2.6.11
XSane output formats: jpeg, pdf(compr.), png, pnm, ps(compr.), tiff, txt
How can I get xsane on FreeBSD to recognize my scanner automatically?
