[sane-devel] SANE needs a GUI like CUPS's 'system-config-printer' to manually add a network scanner.

[Hans Deragon]

Greetings Alex, 

I am not an Sane expert, but what happens in your case, I believe, is
that Sane automatically detects your scanner, regardless of your printer
settings. I bet that if you tried your scanner before adding your
printer, it would have worked. 

I am using Ubuntu 16.04. 

Best regards,
Hans Deragon

I configured the desktop with hp-setup from hplip, using the USB cable. That configures the device to use the wifi. Once configured, I disconnected the USB cable and that desktop computer is able to use the scanner, no problem. I have another laptop, which I just want to connect to the same scanner. I do not want to set the scanner up again, since it is already configured. I just want to tell Sane that there is a scanner at address 192.168.1.157. Sane fails to detect it, and I have no clue how to add it using a GUI nor a terminal for that matter. The should be a GUI feature that allows me to add a scanner the same way one can add a printer.
