Raspberry Pi Create a scan station with scanbd (Raspbian) Configure sane to scan from the network
Example
The local configuration of sane is inside /etc/saned.d
/etc/sane.d/dll.conf
# /etc/sane.d/dll.conf - Configuration file for the SANE dynamic backend loader
#
# Backends can also be enabled by configuration snippets under
# /etc/sane.d/dll.d directory -- packages providing backends should drop
# a config file similar to dll.conf in this directory, named after the package.
#
# The next line enables the network backend; comment it out if you don't need
# to use a remote SANE scanner over the network - see sane-net(5) and saned(8)
net
dll.conf contains only the net backend.
/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 = 3
## 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
At this point, scanbm is not yet configured, no scanner can be reached from the network. We need to set up scanbm along with scanbd to test the set up.
