Here is a method for sharing a scanner over a network with sane-backends and inetd:
http://www.linux.com/articles/57798 My prospective printer/scanner (HP c4599) is not listed in the SANE compatible devices: http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html#Z-HEWLETT-PACKARD It is listed in HPLIP, but the network feature is apparently not working (Network I/O): http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/models/photosmart/photosmart_c4500_series.html Can I share the scanner over the network without SANE support since it has HPLIP support? - Grant
