[sane-devel] How can I access a scanner connected to a Windows box from a SANE frontend throught the network ?

2009-12-30 Thread Liam
Hello,

I've just bought a shiny new printer with poor Linux support for the 
scanner drivers and this lead me to your web page.  FAQ 2.13 has got my 
interest!

Has anybody tried this?

Is it possible to setup saned to talk to twain?

I'm thinking:

sane client (linux) -- tcp/ip -> saned(win) -> twain -> scanner...

Does this make sense to anyone, or am I just inSANE! :-)

Cheers,

Liam



[sane-devel] How can I access a scanner connected to a Windows box from a SANE frontend throught the network ?

Hello,

Thanks for the speedy reply!

It is a colour laser combi thing, Samsung CLX-3175.  I managed to 
install it both via the manufacturers drivers and the open source ones 
and both worked fine for the printer but not the scanner. (I used the 
CLX-3170 driver).

I'd really like to set this up as a networked printer and scanner.  The 
networked printer bit works fine from either Linux or Windows being the 
host / client but the scanner doesn't appear to work in Linux (I may not 
have installed in correctly) and investigating setting up a networked 
scanner in Windows lead me to corporate style licensed software.  This 
is just for a home environment with a couple of users (although would 
probably be useful for larger enterprises too if it works!)

Oh, by the way, if I did find driver support for the scanner on Linux, 
or it came available in the future, would the Windows host be able to 
access the SANE scanner as a network scanner?

Cheers,

Liam
