hi,

i think snake-os would be even better if it had SANE support as a lot of
people have multifunction printers, etc.

thanks,

    I have cross-compiled sane binaries and libusb (required for sane). But I could not get
    it to work. Sane didn't find my scanner although it is supported (Samsung SCX-4200).

    Unfortunately I do not have time to test it very well in the last days.

    Regards,

    Miguel

    Hi Miguel!! (Hi all, ;-))

    I've chrooted a Debian system under the NAS, installed libusb, sane and sane-utils,
    edited the inetd.conf, the sane config files as in my working ubuntu pinter+scanner
    server with the same (mine) multifunction device (Epson DX3800), the system shows
    open the 6566 port to the LAN (nmap 192.168.0.11), also there is a /dev/usbdev2.1
    file device when I connect the scanner+printer usb cable to the NAS and disappears
    after unplug-it, but nothing appears after a lsusb command, and after a 'xsane
    net:192.168.0.11:epson:libusb:002:001' command from the client side...

    I don't know how can I do? After your libusb successful compiling job, 'lsusb' throws
    any message? I understand that your cross-compiled version is executed outside a
    chroot environment, isn't it?

    Thanx in advance for your answers.

    Regards.

    David.

    Gentlemen!

    I've been doing the same thing, http://groups.google.es/group/dealextreme-nas-
    /browse_frm/thread/a691dfb4d465f4ba# with the same result.

    However, I'm still wondering where the printer is in the chrooted environment. And I
    know it's there, I can print just fine.

    I have done much the same.. (for other devices)

    libusb fails to initialise as there is no USB_FS compiled in to the kernel. The effect is that libusb cant find devices

    HINT : to enable libUSB debugs, type in

    export LIBUSB_DEBUG=1

    before running the application that uses the library.

    take a look at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CUPS#USB_printers

    As I understand it lpsub and usblip can't both be loaded at the same time the above link will help you switch between them.
