-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I've discovered a bug in hplip which makes it impossible to share the scanner of a networked HP Photosmart C5180 using the sane network daemon (saned).
In theory saned is supposed to provide access to a connected scanner (using e.g. the hpaio backend). Each client on the network which supports sane should now be able to connect to the server running the sane network daemon and access the server's scanners - without needing any special drivers (because the driver, hplip in my case is installed on the server). And this setup worked well with all hplip versions up to 1.6.10. I've tried many different distros now to get this feature to work with newer versions of hplip, but I was not successful: Ubuntu 7.04 - hplip 2.7.6 - saned not working Gentoo 2006.1 - hplip 1.6.12 & 1.7.3 - saned not working Debian 4.0 - hplip 1.7.3 - saned not working openSuSE 10.2 - hplip 1.7.3 - saned not working Scanning (locally, on the server) and printing (locally and over the net using cups) works fine in all cases. Of course I am not using any firewall or other related software/hardware which could block the saned functionality (and it works with 1.6.10). For further details (output of saned, etc.) you might want to take a look at: http://www.mail-archive.com/hplip-help%40lists.sourceforge.net/msg02867.html I am definitely _not_ the only user who is annoyed by this terrible bug. Please try to investigate this. I would be willing to provide you with debug information etc. Regards, Daniel -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGhpaVM8RD99ZskA8RAmIzAJ9VOfPdwqrfDrHUxk185boqZSm1QACdGcXd bDwZ6Zfc3wL7kiXc+GGGpGg= =olq8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
