Hello,<br><div><br>I am relatively new to sane and after digging around for a few hours now, I still cannot find the solution to what seems to be a simple problem.<br><br>I can get xsane to start up and connect to my scanner using the following command:
<br><br><blockquote style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;" class="gmail_quote">xsane hpaio:/net/Officejet_6300_series?ip=<a href="http://192.168.15.102" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
192.168.15.102
</a><br></blockquote><br>But without the devicename, i get the "no devices avaliable" error. I can live with this if I used xsane standalone, but I want to use it from gimp.<br><br>From the xsane man page: <br>
<br>
<blockquote style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;" class="gmail_quote">When xsane is started from the gimp then it is not possible to add a devicename explicitly. You have to make the devices known to the system by configuring sane-dll, sane-net and saned.
<br></blockquote><br>Problem is that I don't know what else to do in terms of sane-dll configuration except that I have ensured that there is an /etc/sane.d/dll.d/hplip and that file has the "hpaio" backend in it (I am running ubuntu dapper). I also tried specifying the backend directly in
dll.conf and also adding "hpaio:/net/Officejet_6300_series?ip=<a href="http://192.168.15.102" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">192.168.15.102</a>" but to no avail. <br><br>
sane-net and and saned don't seem to be relevant to my situation since it seems to enable controlling "devices attached to a remote host". saned seems to do the opposite and that seems irrelevant too.
<br><br>Any help?<br></div><div><span class="sg"><br>-- <br><br> k.p.
