 Posted: Fri Nov 20, 2015 5:50 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] SANE client can no longer see my networked scanner |
 |
|
Previously, I was able to scan from my HP Photosmart 7520 over my network using SANE (XSANE), GIMP, and hplip. However, a few months ago, something got upgraded or changed, and now I can no longer scan. Whenever I use Gimp (File > Create > XSane: Device Dialog..), it comes back almost immediate after "scanning for devices", complaining:
| Code: | | no devices available |
I have tried to follow this guide: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/HPLIP.
And, everything seems to be fine.
How can I troubleshoot this? Has anybody else had this problem?
Thanks!

Hi,
are you running saned via xinetd or as standalone service? I had a similiar issue as i was running it via xinetd. As soon as i switched back to standalone service, i was able to use my hp deskjet scanner/printer combination again.
greets, bb

I had this problem with a brother mfc, after a sane update - no devices. In that case the backend file got nuked from | Code: | | /etc/sane.d/dll.conf |
For HP scanners the backend is hpaio so if | Code: | | grep hpaio /etc/sane.d/dll.conf |
returns nothing, you could try adding it back. That worked for me. |

Actually, I did not have either one running.  I started saned, but it did not make any difference. I still get the same error message almost immediately - "no devices found". ... Is saned required for networked scanners?

It is still listed, so I think that's ok.
| Code: | $ grep hp /etc/sane.d/dll.conf

37:hp5590
38:hpljm1005
88:# Add support for the HP-specific backend. Needs net-print/hplip installed.
89:hpaio |
Thanks for the suggestions, both of you. I appreciate the help very much.
Any other suggestions? |

Hi,
i think i misunderstood you a bit. You should check your /etc/sane.d/net.conf if your device is listed via ip or dns-name there. IIRC this file is used if you want to connect to a network scanner as client

Thanks for the tip. I had already found that one via Google, and I added my ip:
| Code: | $ cat /etc/sane.d/net.conf
192.168.0.11 |
Am I missing something? Is there a special format maybe? I haven't been able to find any examples, except of people using either hostnames or IP addresses directly.
Thanks! |

What relevant packages do you two have installed with use flags? I have:
| Code: | $ emerge -pvt cups xsane sane-backends hplip avahi
These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

Hi,
i dont have a real network based scanner/printer. I have a HP Deskjet 1050A AIO system which is connected via usb to a cubietruck. I have sane-backends-1.0.25 installed with the useflags for net and hp systems. I share the scanner with Windows machines and linux machines. i havent looked into the linux system fully, but i think the backend for net should be enough.
bb

Ok, thanks! ... How do you like the cubietruck? ... I also had to fire up my Windows VM to get some scanning done.  |

|
|
Thanks to bbgermany and ian.au for all the help! 
Short Answer:
In addition to other requirements, the CUPS print URI must match a specific format; otherwise, the printer will be unrecognized. My new, working printer.conf looks like:
| Code: | $ cat /etc/cups/printers.conf
# Printer configuration file for CUPS v2.0.3
# Written by cupsd on 2015-11-24 11:50
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE WHEN CUPSD IS RUNNING
<Printer HP_Photosmart_7520_series>
UUID urn:uuid:112e87a4-b284-33f3-4ea3-4748f44fd861
Info HP Photosmart 7520 series
Location Office
DeviceURI hp:/net/Photosmart_7520_series?ip=192.168.0.11
State Stopped
StateMessage Rendering completed
StateTime 1448380948
Reason paused
Type 4
Accepting Yes
Shared No
JobSheets none none
QuotaPeriod 0
PageLimit 0
KLimit 0
OpPolicy default
ErrorPolicy stop-printer
</Printer> |
The DeviceURI is the critical line for this case.
| Code: | | DeviceURI hp:/net/Photosmart_7520_series?ip=192.168.0.11 |
Previously, I had:
| Code: | | DeviceURI hp:/net/HP_Photosmart_7520_series?ip=192.168.0.11 |
Which was auto-generated and did NOT work.
Troubleshooting:
This pointed me in the right direction:
| Code: | $ hp-check -t
...
HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (ver. 3.14.10)
Dependency/Version Check Utility ver. 15.1
...

Also, this post suggests that the connection method (hp vs socket) is critical:
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/sane-devel/2009-February/024117.html
So, I played with variations of the printer name that I had seen in various auto-detection results, restarting cups after each change, and testing with "scanimage -L" until it was found.
Now, the checking tool reports:
| Code: | $ hp-check -t
...

Other Requirements and Facets:
Here are the contents of other configuration files, which may be helpful. (Incidentally, I do not know which are absolutely required, because I did not test all of these exhaustively.)
| Code: | $ cat /etc/portage/make.conf
...
SANE_BACKENDS="hp net"
...
|
You must rebuild sane-backends, if you modify the above setting.
| Code: | $ cat /etc/sane.d/dll.conf
# enable the next line if you want to allow access through the network:
net
hp
# Add support for the HP-specific backend. Needs net-print/hplip installed.
hpaio |
I trimmed the above file, so that sane did not try to load every conceivable plug-in under the sun. The above is all that is required for the HP Photosmart 7520.
| Code: | cat /etc/sane.d/net.conf
# This is the net backend config file.
## net backend options
# Timeout for the initial connection to saned. This will prevent the backend
# from blocking for several minutes trying to connect to an unresponsive
# saned host (network outage, host down, ...). Value in seconds.
# connect_timeout = 60
## saned hosts
# Each line names a host to attach to.
# If you list "localhost" then your backends can be accessed either
# directly or through the net backend. Going through the net backend
# may be necessary to access devices that need special privileges.
# localhost
192.168.0.11 |
Replace with the IP address of your remote networked scanner.
| Code: | $ emerge -pvt xsane sane-backends hplip cups
These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

Conclusion:
Thanks again for all the help! I'm thankful this is fixed. Now that my OCD has been soothed, I can return to my normal life. |

Same problem for me today with "HP Deskjet 1050 J410 series".
Never could scan with saned via xinetd, and worked when switched to saned service (openrc).
