Hello, I am trying to get saned working with my scanner (a UMAX 2100U). I am using SANE backends 1.0.18, SANE fronends 1.0.14, and xsane 0.994. The backend I am using is a modified version of the umax1220u, which I call psc_umax2100u. It is essentially the same backend with all of the non-2100U support stripped out. The driver works without problem directly with scanimage and xsane. When I try to use the backend through saned, I encounter authentication problems.
I have read throughly the SANE Network Daemon at http://penguin-breeder.org/sane/saned/, the saned manpage, and the sane-net manpage without a resolution of the problem. I set up the file saned.conf as follows 192.168.0.20 192.168.0.2 192.168.0.1 I set up the file saned.users as follows: xyzzy:fubar:psc_umax2100u When I start xsane, the first dialog window that is displayed shows: Authorization required for net:192.168.0.41:psc_umax2100u Password transmission is secure I type in the user name "xyzzy" and the password "fubar", which are accepted. The xsane windows are then displayed. When the "Scan" or "Preview" buttons are pressed, a second dialog window is displayed: Authorization required for net:192.168.0.41:sane_start(handle=%p) Backend requests plain-text password It doesn't matter what I type in for the user name and password, as nothing appears to be accepted. After one or two tries, xsane aborts with the message *** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x4001a7e6 *** I tried setting up a psc_umax2100u.users file, following the same format as saned.users, but that didn't work. Probably not a valid file anyway. I don't know what else to do. It seems like I'm very close, but I'm missing something. Thanks in advance for your help! Mac
