With all supported SANE scanners you should be able to scan via the LAN. Regards, -- Antoine

Won't even power up on the windoze box now. Maybe something happened to it during Hurricane Katrina. Hard to say. Anyways, guess it's off to eBay and see what I can find, esp among the Epson offerings. They're the best supported, it seems. Epson's web site has decent clearance deals, too. Thanks, Antoine.

Re: USB Scanner question
Selon Denny White [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Yep, helps a lot. I kind of figured I'd need to either run current or else wait for 3.9 which, the latter, is what I'm going to do. Time to preorder. :-) Thanks, Antoine. That cleared things up. Glad I could be of some help. As a matter of fact, I'm the SANE port maintainer for OpenBSD, so don't hesitate to bug me if you have any problem making it work under this OS. Bye... -- Antoine

Selon Denny White [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
team. :-) I know the obsd os supports scanners, but I can't
seem to find a good recommendation. I also don't understand
OpenBSD should support pretty much any scanner that SANE supports.
backends, but it's not in my /usr/ports/graphics. Is this
because I'm running _3_8 not current, or could I be doing
Yes, sane-{backends,frontends} was imported after 3.8 was released.
GENERIC kernel with very little change. I think the only change
I did to it was to enable DUMMY_NOPS which it comments as
You're running an unsupported kernel.
So, just need some input on any luck anyone has had with usb scanners.
I, for one, am very happy with my Epson USB scanner. I can scan via USB
and via the LAN too.
Any input greatly appreciated.
If you want to install SANE on OpenBSD, you can either :
- grab the -current port and try to complile it under 3.8 (unsupported,
don't ask questions if you have problems)
- wait for 3.9 to be released
- upgrade to -current
Hope that helps

Bye... -- Antoine I'm sorely tempted to try building the current port while still running _3_8, or, probably better all around, upgrading to current. I know 3.9's not coming until May. Just preordered it, but I hate waiting. :-) Have an old HP 3400C usb scanner that's listed as complete at the sane site. Probably the only thing holding me back is just how smooth my obsd system's working. Hate to do anything to screw it up. I'm not a developer, programmer, or any kind of guru. Just love obsd, the security it provides, and the relative ease of installing maintaining it for a relative newbie.
