Hi there,
I have this USB scanner that won't work on x86 Macs, so I looked for the best way to have it shared through OMV.
I read those pages:
How to get a scanner to work with OMV (Network Scanner)
And https://blogs.fsfe.org/the_unc…/2014/09/09/network-sane/
and https://wiki.debian.org/fr/SaneOverNetwork
and http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpsane/
But I am still confused as to the best way to share such a scanner over the network. It probably won't move far from my desk, but instead of plugging into the computer, will stay connected to the Raspberry Pi running OMV.
I already tried:
1. manually installing SANE on OMV from the command line and launching it directly on the Pi, assuming the display would be exported on the local machine, but got this error, although SSH connection was made with -X:
2. Then I gave a try to phpSANE, first by installing another NGINX instance open on port 630 (so as to avoid conflict with OMV's own instance), but got another error message when trying to access its web page:
ZitatInput validation of REMOTE_ADDR failed!
Constraint: "regex"
Value: "::ffff:192.168.1.5"
3. Finally, I set up the SANE server as written in the first topic linked, then launched the xsane installed on the local computer, assuming it would look for network-shared printers, but found none.
So, what is the best, most efficient way to share it through OMV, given it's running on a limited power machine? And why did it fail on previous attempts?
