Main question: does the HP 5590 support button presses or am I just setting this up incorrectly?
I'm been successful using scanbd with SANE backends to get scanning working over my network and locally on the host machine, but I can't seem to get it to recognize button presses, either running scanbd in foreground or background. For past testing, it seems that actions defined in scanbd.conf are used to tie to the backend options? From searching /var/log/syslog, I expected to track button presses or get some sort of trigger feedback, and I didn't think I needed an action set up for it. Any help on this one would be much appreciated. Thanks. Jared H Details Below: ====================== I've got an HP ScanJet 5590 connected via USB to my raspberry pi with Raspbian 9 (Stretch). sane 1.0.14-12 armhf scanbd 1.4.4-1+b1 armhf Both provided by the package manager. I've tried to keep it as close to the way it is set up by default. I've changed dll.conf and net.conf in the /etc/sane.d folder. $ cat /etc/sane.d/dll.conf net $ cat /etc/sane.d/net.conf connect_timeout = 5 localhost I've copied saned.conf from /etc/sane.d and added a soft link to /usr/share/scanbd/scripts/ as scripts into /etc/scanbd. Adjusted dll.conf and minor edits on scanbd.conf $ cat /etc/scanbd/dll.conf hp5590 $ cat /etc/scanbd/saned.conf localhost laptop.luthr.net $ cat /etc/scanbd/scanbd.conf $ cat /etc/scanbd/scanbd.conf
