[sane-devel] infoprint 1650 mfp

Thanks to everyone for the help. It turns out to be trivial to create a profile which then remains on the printer. There is absolutely no need for scanback or anything else. Likewise there is no need for SANE. The scanner/printer sends the pdf file directly to Ubuntu (I chose to send it to the dow

Hi Torfinn, Yes, I think you are right. It sounds like the scanback program is actually creating some sort of temporary scan-to-ftp. It looks like a good idea to try to set up a permanent link - and then it could just as well be an Ubuntu target. Ilan On Sun, Sep 11, 2011 at 7:28 PM, Torfinn Ingo

Allan, I agree that it would be more desirable to have Ubuntu start the process, but from what I see even the great Windows can't do that. First the Windows operator "initiates" the scan under Windows. Then a minute or so until she gets up from the Windows machine and walks over to the printer. She

Sorry that I tend to keep my contact with Windows to a minimum. It is my friend's printer and I watched her run it under Windows and then I went to my Ubuntu machine. It is definitely Ricoh, scanback 3.3.3 (maybe only 3.3?) The printer is an IBM Infoprint 1650 MFP. I'm not familiar with a wireshark

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

I would not have it write back to a shared folder if I could prevent it. It makes more sense to send it over the wire to the process which initiated the scan. However, the specifics are entirely dependent on the hardware itself. If you wish to make it work, the first step is for you to learn to mak

Well, you could start by telling us the brand name, Ricoh perhaps? Second, perhaps you could get a wireshark trace of the windows driver making a small, low resolution network scan? Make sure you capture the entire packet length. Then compress that log, and put it up on the web where we can reach i
