-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello Aaron & Johannes,
I found some time to check my described setup in a very simplified environment: HP Photosmart <-> Switch <-> Print/Scan Server The scanning/printing client is also connected to the switch. Every client is on the same private subnet. The scan server is now running openSUSE 10.2 & hplip 1.7.4a. And I can confirm again that this setup DOES NOT WORK with hplip > 1.6.10; the standard 1.6.10 distribution included in SuSE 10.2 worked just fine. Of course printing and local scanning is working with the new hplip release as well, but as I already said there has to be a bug in hplip > 1.6.10 which does not allow the sane network daemon to connect to the hpaio-backend using a networked Photosmart.

Aaron, please test this setup as well. I bet you will very likely not be able to successfully access the scanner of a networked Photosmart using the sane network daemon with newer hplip releases.
