Ok.
thank you very much for looking into this.
For now I give up, maybe I try attaching via USB.
The python files aren't built on make. And adding the the pardus dir to
SUBDIRS does not change this.
This configure/make stuff is way over my head. I asked ChatGPT for the
hint about the SUBDIRS *grin*
regards

Seems to be installed just fine.

Next step would be either to attach via USB (some effort ;) or
tell it
the IP address.
recently I added an IP address to xerox_mfp.conf which made the old
scanner work.
But the exact syntax was extremely hard to find because most network
topics deal with making network access to an USB scanner connected
to a
remote PC.
and I fear the syntax for the Oki would be different.
any idea how I could solve this?
OK, yeah it seems like the OKI install package also installs an
additional demon okiscand which provides device management functions.
I'm fairly sure that the code for this is not in that repo. When we
come to make it available, we might have to fill that gap with
something ourselves.
Probably won't be a daemon, but something that can read a config file
to keep things simple.
Cheers,
Ralph
