Folks, Here's a copy of my last msg to Steven about my efforts to do remote scanning with a Fujitsu fi-4750c (sent a couple weeks ago).
As you can read, I was successful in having the scanner show up remotely on the client machine, but wasn't able to get the actual scan to occur. As mentioned, I suspect a permissions problem somewhere along the chain between client and host. Haven't been able to get back to debugging this yet (too many other projects have priority :-) If anyone has any suggestions for me on how to sort this out (e.g., what to look for in the logs), let me know. Re Allan's questions, I used the latest versions of SANE components as of last month. Scanner is a Fujitsu fi-4750c. I can "reach it" to select it in he scanning app on the client (Adobe Acrobat running on Mac OS X, IIRC), but attempting to commence a scan fails. (Don't remember the specific error msg; probably timeout). Steven provided me with some draft how-to instructions on setting up saned for my SCSI scanner, which were helpful in getting as far as I did. Once I sort out the remaining problems :-) I owe him an improved draft.

To: Steven Santos <Steven at simplycircus.com> Steven, Hit a roadblock on net access to my SCSI scanner. Everything works fine on the host (i.e., scanimage -L shows the Fujitsu scanner appropriately). I've even verified that the saned service is running properly (both by checking on the host and by doing a port scan on the host from the remote client). Firewall is disabled, but I suspect some other permission settings are not right yet. Even managed to access a neighbor's network scanner from both Mac OS X and Ubuntu clients by connecting to their WiFi router. So I have some confidence that the problem isn't on the client side. Will check things over again. Any hints? Mike -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
