Dear Olaf I discovered this after my post by myself ...

Nevertheless many thanks for your kind advice. And yes you are right: no 
reboot needed.


In the meanwhile we got the following backends working by doing these steps:

1.Brother:

brscan, brscan2, brscan3

a) 'sudo ln -sfr /usr/lib64/libbr* /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu'
b) 'sudo ln -sfr /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-brother* 
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane'

c) generate '/etc/udev/rules.d/59-udev-local.rules'
content:
# Brother brscan devices
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04f9", ATTRS{idProduct}=="*", MODE="0664", 
GROUP="scanner", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"


2. Epson Iscan

a) 'sudo ln -sfr /usr/lib/sane/libsane-epkowa* 
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane'

b) generate '/etc/udev/rules.d/79-udev-epson.rules'
content:
# chmod device EPSON group
ATTRS{manufacturer}=="EPSON", DRIVERS=="usb", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", 
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04b8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="*", MODE="0777"


3. Xerox Workcentre 3225

a) 'sudo ln -sfr /usr/lib/sane/libsane-smfp* /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane'
b) 'sudo adduser $USER lp'


Only brscan4 refuses to work for what reason ever (it works only as root 
and only with xsane, no scanimage, no scantopdf ...) currently we try 
discover if any 'special' udev rules are missing and generating them 
might work.


Any help/advice appreciated.

The owner of the brscan4 Scanner asked Brother. They replied: "read the 
faq, or check over internet if there are solutions from the community".


current state can be observed here 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sane-backends/+bug/1728012


Some people call using 'MODE="0777" for epson dangerous. The rule was 
installed by the epson-printer-utility. With the rule Iscan works, 
without not.



Thanks for your kind interest

Klaus Staedtler

What a mess.  Changing the package name from libsane to libsane1 and
then expecting nothing breaks???  The Provides: libsane is absolutely
required until all depending packages have been updated to require the
new libsane1 package.

The issue with third party package does not end there.  A lot of them
were created before "multi-arch" so they install in /usr/lib/sane or
/usr/lib64/sane, not in some really architecture dependent place such as
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane.  There is little change that third party
*vendor* packages will be rebuilt to fix this.

As far as iscan and its interpreters are concerned, to the best of my
knowledge they are no longer actively maintained.  Good luck prodding
EPSON in fixing this.

# Full disclosure: I work at a daughter company of EPSON and have been

Fortunately not.

Actually, I'd leave them where they are and create symlinks to them from
where they are expected.  After moving them back to /usr/lib/sane

  cd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane
  ln -s ../../sane/libsane-epkowa.la
  ln -s ../../sane/libsane-epkowa.so.1
  ln -s ../../sane/libsane-epkowa.so.1.0.15

You shouldn't have to reboot.  Just restart your application.

Like I said, good luck with that.

Hope this helps

[sane-devel] Saned systemd issues

2017-11-18 Thread ToddAndMargo 

Hi All,

Scientific Linux 7.4 (RHEL Clone based on CentOS)

# rpm -qa sane-backends
sane-backends-1.0.24-9.el7.x86_64


I can start /usr/sbin/saned from the command line:

/usr/sbin/saned -a saned -d128; echo $?; ps ax | grep -i [s]aned
0
29857 ?Ss 0:00 /usr/sbin/saned -a saned -d128

But not from my systemd scripts, which I picked up from
"man saned".

Note that I can use the name saned\@.service name due to
a very long standing bug:

'systemctl' does not properly run the 'start', 'restart' or 'status' for 
a .service file containing an '@'

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1142369

In my case it gives:
Failed to start saned@.service: Unit name saned@.service is
missing the instance name.


So I called 'saned\@.service" "saned\@sane.service"


[Unit]
Description=saned incoming socket

[Socket]

ps command is empty

How do I troubleshoot this?

Why did it succeed and exit?

And were are the logs for 'Environment=SANE_DEBUG_DLL=255
SANE_DEBUG_BJNP=5"?


Many thanks,

[sane-devel] how do you use "saned -d and -s?

2017-11-18 Thread ToddAndMargo 

Dear list,

Scientific Linux 7.4 (RHEL Clone based on CentOS)

# rpm -qa sane-backends
sane-backends-1.0.24-9.el7.x86_64

# ps ax | grep [s]aned
29857 ?Ss 0:00 /usr/sbin/saned -a saned -d128


How do I use
/usr/sbin/saned -a saned -d128
or -s
to see why a scanner command is crashing?

Simple Scan works.

PDF Studio requires saned be running and does find the scanner,
gives me the following error:

com.qoppa.uk.b.b.e.m: Invalid operation
