Hi, Why would you use saned with a networked PS C5180? Since the PS C5180 is networked, you can use xsane from any PC without saned.
According to SANE Standard v1.04, when localOnly is true during sane_get_devices, no remote devices are returned. This means only USB/Parallel devices are returned. I would use saned if the all-in-one was USB connected only. Then the hpaio.c code should work correctly. -dave > -----Original Message----- > From: Hernan Pastoriza [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, July 20, 2007 2:14 PM > To: hplip-devel@lists.sourceforge.net > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Bug: hplip >=1.6.12 breaks support for the sane > network daemon > > I tracked down > this problem to the file: > scan/sane/hpaio.c > > The function DevDiscovery(int localOnly) skips the detection > of cups connected devices if localOnly is set.
