[sane-devel] How can I access a scanner connected to a Windows box from a SANE frontend throught the network ?

[Liam]

Hello,

Thanks for the speedy reply!

It is a colour laser combi thing, Samsung CLX-3175.  I managed to 
install it both via the manufacturers drivers and the open source ones 
and both worked fine for the printer but not the scanner. (I used the 
CLX-3170 driver).

I'd really like to set this up as a networked printer and scanner.  The 
networked printer bit works fine from either Linux or Windows being the 
host / client but the scanner doesn't appear to work in Linux (I may not 
have installed in correctly) and investigating setting up a networked 
scanner in Windows lead me to corporate style licensed software.  This 
is just for a home environment with a couple of users (although would 
probably be useful for larger enterprises too if it works!)

Oh, by the way, if I did find driver support for the scanner on Linux, 
or it came available in the future, would the Windows host be able to 
access the SANE scanner as a network scanner?

Cheers,

Liam
