Hi,
I talked with OKI company few month ago and they gave me the source code
because it was GPL code.
It's not integrated to the upstream yet, but you can try.
Here's source code and related issue:

- https://gitlab.com/sane-project/backends/-/issues/798

Hi,
Hi,
no idea why, but I just cannot find any serious docs on how to make my
Oki MC261 scanner work.
is this because nobody tried yet or because it should be easy?
Oki provides Linux drivers for the MC361 on their support site. I don't
know how they work but you may try it.
Regards,
Simon
I tried sane-airscan some guessed URLs
[devices]
MC361_9967e=http://MC361.fritz.box:9967/eSCL
MC361_9100e=http://MC361.fritz.box:9100/eSCL
MC361_9967w=http://MC361.fritz.box:9967/WSDScanner, WSD
MC361_9100w=http://MC361.fritz.box:9100/WSDScanner, WSD
but it just doesn't work.
Open ports according to nmap are
80/tcp open http
515/tcp open printer
631/tcp open ipp
9100/tcp open jetdirect
9967/tcp open unknown
printing works fine.
I tried HPLIP because of the jetdirect port, but this doesn't work either.
cite from manual:> All major network protocols supported via ethernet
card with
internal web server for printer and network card set-up and
management. TCP/IPv4&v6, SMTP, POP3, HTTP, SNMPv1&v3,
DHCP, DNS, LPR, Port9100, BOOTP, ARP, FTP, CIFS, LDAP, SLP,
Bonjour, Web Services Discovery, NetWare, EtherTalk, NetBEUI
it offers Netware, Netbeui and ethertalk, but these I disabled because
they are outdated?
avahi-daemon.service was disabled again, I enabled & started it.
sane
saned.socket was disabled, I enabled it.
yeah, after enabling this, lookup works:
network dnssd://MC361._pdl-datastream._tcp.local/
network dnssd://MC361._printer._tcp.local/
but this does not help with scanning, or does it?
any idea what I am missing?
ps. for my previous printer, i found out there were three different
backends that somehow worked with it.
which backends could work with the Oki?
I installed https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/okimfpsdrv
but this did not help either. manual work needed?
thank you very much
JPT
