Greetings Alex,
There is program named xsane that could help you.
It does not help. It aborts because it does not found a scanner I use
occasionally, when I am at my friend's house, and it does not find my
scanner, which I am able to ping to and access to from another computer.
If you use an HP multifunction printer you can configure it from
system-config-printer and you scanner feature will automatically work.
Nope, that is not the case. system-config-printer is only for the
printer side of a MFC device. I can print to my MFC, but I cannot scan
it. As a scanner, it does not exists and I have no means to add it
manually to Linux.
Merci,
Hans Deragon

Greetings, I understand that saned is a daemon / API running in the
backend, but I believe that like CUPS's 'system-config-printer', it
should come with a frontend to manage scanners. I have a network
(wifi) scanner setup properly. One of my Linux machine (a desktop
computer) connects to it without any issue. I have setup that machine
with hplip. However, another Linux laptop cannot find it on the
network. I know its IP and I can ping it, figure out the ports that
are open, but there is no GUI to add a scanner. In fact, I cannot even
figure out how to add this scanner via the terminal. Searching for any
reference to it under /etc on the desktop machine for which it works
returns nothing. I have no clue where the scanner is configured on
that machine so I can copy the configuration on the laptop. The
scanner is part of my MFC "HP Officejet Pro 6978 All-in-one". hplip
requires me to set it up (again!) with a USB cable. But this device is
already setup and I should not have to plug as USB cable to it and
reconfigure it. I should just be able to find it on the network and go
on with it, or at least, add it manually via a GUI. Has this issue
already been discussed? BTW, I am new to this mailing list and I have
no history regarding the SANE project; I am just a simple user. Best
regards, Hans Deragon
