In general, all these need is to specify the protocol, address and port of your server.ġ. SANE Backends are available for a number of network scanners. Add your SANED server address as an IP4, IP6, hosts or DNS resolvable name You can edit that file as root using this command:ģ. We need to add our server or servers to the /etc/sane.d/net.conf. In our case, change the line that readsĢ. Within that file, you need to uncomment the NET backend. To enable the net backend, edit the file /etc/sane.d/dll.conf by running the following command: Scanners with their own SANE server, as well as scanners connected to a computer running the saned service can be easily added to other computers on the network by enabling the NET backend and adding the servers IP address in the net.conf file.ġ. These are both "driverless" scanning protocols and SANE supports both of these protocols with its sane-escl (eSCL only)and AirScan (eSCL and WSD) backends.īoth backends support network and USB scanners. Most modern scanners come with support for either Apple AirScan / AirPrint scanning (the official protocol name is "eSCL") OR Microsoft WSD, aka "Web Services for Devices". The scanner can have its own sane server, or it can be supported by a backend. Many network scanners work with sane in one of two ways.

This usually involves enabling the back-end, and then adding your scanner to it.įor detailed instructions on manual installation, see the Ubuntu SANE Troubleshooting guide. For some scanners, you will need to enable it manually. Most of the time, the back-end for your scanner will be enabled by default. If SANE says that it can't find the scanner, you will need to do a manual installation. You should see a dialog for scanning from your scanner. Run following command to test your scanner: Those are covered in the sane Troubleshooting guide. Note that some scanners will require other packages to be installed.
#LINUX NETWORK SCANNER SANE INSTALL#
This will also install the xsane front end.
You can run the following command to install it (if it's already installed, it will do nothing):Īpt-get install sane sane-utils libsane-extras xsane Sane should be installed as a base package in Ubuntu 11.04 and later. Our scanner uses the example backend (example-backend).Our USB scanner is located at libusb:001:003.This set up assumes that we are on a small home or office network and are behind a firewall.We make the following assumptions in this tutorial (you will need to adjust these to fit your situation) This tutorial will walk you through the basic set up of sane with plug and play scanners. However, some scanners will require manual installation (see the sane Troubleshooting guide for help with manual installation). By and large, most supported scanners are plug and play simple (plug them in and your ready to scan). sane supports a great many scanners, and the community around SANE adds support for more scanners all the time. SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) is the linux way of scanning.
