Do you need to share it?
The scanner is already on the network, just use it from whatever
machine you want, like:
gscan2pdf --device epson2:net:192.168.15.5

Why is it a shock? Since nobody is paid to work on the SANE project,
my guess is that there isn't anyone of the developers that work on
this full time.
This is a project, not a business.
Which means that those who develops this project do it on their own
free time, when they don't do other interesting or fun things.

Also, it has only been a week since your first post. If you give it
more time, you might get an answer. Or not.

(I'm not a developer, just a user with an interest.)

Well, general info about helping is in the sane(7) man page. You might
know this already.
The section "problems" lists the generic environment variables you can use.
the sane-xerox_mfp(5) man page list the options specific to the
xerox_mfp backend.
example
$ SANE_DEBUG_XEROX_MFP=4 scanimage -L
or a higher value.

Well, for the WorkCentre 6027 there is some Linux support, Xerox have
a "Linux package" available for download:
http://www.support.xerox.com/support/workcentre-6027/downloads/enus.html?operatingSystem=linux=en

Ok, then you might be out of luck with SANE.
Or you could make the effort to turn on all the debug info, do testing
and so on to help the developers improve the Xerox backend so it will
support your model.
Info about this is available on the SANE web site, as well as in the
archives of this mailing list.

> whether I connect via Ethernet through the Netgear switch.

FWIW, scanimage -L is not very good at (or can't at all?) detect
network scanners. As an example, I can scan perfectly with my Espon
MFP like this:
$ xsane epson2:net:10.1.161.8
or
$ gscan2pdf --device epson2:net:10.1.161.8
but scanimage -L doesn't detect it at all.

Even if this line says it is not.

But if you look at the supported list for the Pixma backend:
http://sane-project.org/sane-backends.html#S-PIXMA
the only MFnnn scanners reported as supported there are MF210 and
MF220 series, plus MF810 / 820, and they are all marked as untested.
So, more testing is needed.

2017-02-13 Thread Torfinn Ingolfsen 
The "Temporary failure in name resolution" messages in your debug
output seems to indicate that the pixma backend also wants / needs a
(DNS) name for your scanner's IP address.
You could try to add it to your local DNS server if you have one, or
to the hosts file on the machine you run SANE on, to see if it helps.

In general, scanimage isn't very good at detecting network-connected scanners.
However, you scanner might still work.
Things you can try (if you haven't already):
xsane
$ xsane :net:
so something like
$ xsane pixma:net:172.16.184.25

should work.

Ok, that is a bug. The question is if it is a bug with sane or with
the device itself.
Does the device (usb cam) worh with other programs after taking an

Scanned documents consists of images (yes, even PDF documents) from the start.
The find command (or a search command) works with text (words, phrases).
So, after scanning your document, you need to perform text recognition
on the images in your document. This process is usually called ocr -
optical character recognition. It scans the images for characters and
creates text from the characters it finds. This is not a 100% success,
more like 97 - 98. This text is usually saved as a layer (invisible)
"on top" of each image in a PDF file, so when you search you will find
the word on the correct page.

I see that XSane has an "OCR" button, but I have never used it, so I
don't know if it works or what it takes to make it work.
I usually use gscan2pdf http://gscan2pdf.sourceforge.net/ for scanning
text documents. It uses SANE, has several ocr tools you can choose
from, and usually works very well.

Yes, I did (sorry for not mentioning it) and yes - it works. Here is

As you can see, cheese can do 2304x1728 for resolution with this scanner.

Ah, that is a different problem. I thought your question was how to
use a (supported) scanner via network with SANE.
To find out if your scanner is supported at all (there are a few HP
backends) I'm afarid you will have to connect it to a (FreeBSD)
machine via usb and run sane-find-scanner as root.

If it isn't supported by SANE, there is always HPLIP

This should be your last resort; if you are unlucky chips are unmarked

 Is reverse engineering the Windows or Mac drivers a possibility for

 Dear Sane developers,

 I got my hands on a Plustek Opticfilm 7600i Negative/slide scanner.

FWIW, I also have a 7600i.
If somebody starts developing support for it, I will dig it up and try
my best to help by testing, providing feedback and so on.

 Hi,

 I am experiencing problems with my Epson Stylus SX525WD. I connected via
 USB and installed the Epson SANE drivers from epson.net (iscan-data and
 iscan) on my 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04 system. The scanner is recognized by
 `sane-find-scanner`.

Did you try connecting it via wireless? Does it work better there?
I have a BX525WD which works fine, but it has always beenj connected
via wireless, I haven't tried usb.

 Hello,
 I may be asking something impossible. If so, please let me know.

 I have an infoprint 1650 mfp printer/scanner which is on a LAN, stand alone
 and not connected to any particular computer. The printer part works just
 fine, out-of-the-box. The scanner part is another story. SANE doesn't detect
 the scanner.

The documentation is here:
http://infoprint.com/internet/ipww.nsf/vwWebPublished/supwg_infoprint-1650-mfp_en

User guide claims that this model has scan-to-email and scan-to-ftp

Wouldn't it be easier just to set up that?

But on FreeBSD, xsane doesn't find the scanner automatically.
If I try just 'xsane' it says no devices available.
If I try 'xsane epson2:net:10.1.161.8' it works.

[sane-devel] Epson Stylus Office BX525WD - scanner works via network

Well, color me impressed!

I have recently got myself a new all-in-one, an Epson Stylus Office

Today I decided to test the scanner part.
Note: the Epson is only connected to my wireless network (and power).
So I fired up scanimage on my Xubuntu laptop:
tingo at kg-u35jc:~$ scanimage --version
scanimage (sane-backends) 1.0.21; backend version 1.0.21
tingo at kg-u35jc:~$ scanimage -L
device `epson2:net:10.1.161.8' is a Epson PID 085E flatbed scanner

I'm running this:
tingo at kg-u35jc:~$ lsb_release -a

Then I used Simple Scan; the scanner showed there also, and scanning
worked perfectly.
(I tried with gscan2pdf 0.9.31 also, but it couldn't find any devices).

Thanks!

Hi,

On Sun, Jan 24, 2010 at 9:51 PM, Oliver Schwartz Oliver.Schwartz at 
gmx.dewrote:


 what does you snapscan.conf look like? If libusb is used, you mustn't use a
 device entry such as /dev/... or libusb:/dev/ All that is needed is
 the entry containing the vendor and product ID of your scanner, i.e
 usb 0x06bd 0x2061 and the firmware entry.


My snapscan.conf is correct, it only contains the firmware line and vendor
and product ID, sorry for not mentioning this in my first posting.

In the meantime, another FreeBSD user found a way to fix it, it is just a
one-line patch:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-usb/2010-January/008172.html

With Andrew's patch, my scanner now works:
