Network scanner
« on: August 10, 2009, 10:58:23 AM »
I searched and found nothing on this subject....

I have a Brother MFC7820N on a network that prints with no problems. I tried to set it up as a network scanner this weekend and could not get PCC to recognize it as a scanner. I filled in the network address as if it were a separate machine and it still didn't work. Has anyone else set up a network scanner like this?

Desktop2: AMD64 5400 [8 core]; 16GB; 3.2.16-a64; KDE
Netbook: EeePC 901; Atom N270; 1GB; 2.6.33.7-pclos6.bfs; KDE

Still trying to get this to work....

In Synaptic the sane information says

Quote
This package does not enable network scanning by default; if you wish
to enable it, install the saned package and set up the sane-net backend.
This package contains the backends for different scanners.

I have saned installed, I have sane-backends installed.... sane-net isn't listed anywhere....

How do I confirm that sane-net backend is available?
