Hi *, just a minor follow-up:
Zitat von "Jens-U. Mozdzen" <[email protected]>:
Hi *,
I'm attempting to use cascading saned servers, in other words: I'm
trying to share a scanner that is reachable from the "saned" system
via its network back-end.
Technically, this works. Unfortunately, either saned or the clients
are not prepared for this, as the network scanners are not not
listed via "xsane" nor "scanimage -L".
[...]
saned's source code reveals that it is intended behaviour on saned's side:
--- cut here ---
switch (current_request)
{
case SANE_NET_GET_DEVICES:
{
SANE_Get_Devices_Reply reply;
reply.status =
sane_get_devices ((const SANE_Device ***) &reply.device_list,
SANE_TRUE);
sanei_w_reply (w, (WireCodecFunc) sanei_w_get_devices_reply, &reply);
}
break;
--- cut here ---
the "SANE_TRUE" value for the second parameter of "sane_get_devices()"
means "return only local devices" and is handed to net.c's
implementation, which then simply returns an empty list.
Would a patch to make this configurable (via command line option of
saned) be acceptable? I'd implement a "-r" option, with a semantic of
"re-export network-accessed scanner devices" and prepare a patch.
Regards,
Jens
