[sane-devel] [scanbd] using scanbd and saned over network at the same time

[Wilhelm]

Hi Rolf,

your description looks reasonable.

Please ensure that scanbd (or systemd) really listens on port 6566:

[lmeier:/home/lmeier] $ sudo netstat -ltnp
Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address
State       PID/Program name
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:79              0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN      1/init
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:80              0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN      1119/httpd
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:22              0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN      1120/sshd
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:631             0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN      472/cupsd
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:6566            0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN      1/init
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:9000            0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN      1139/nginx: master

If thats ok check your scanimage:

[lmeier:/home/lmeier] $ strace scanimage -L 2>&1 | grep dll.conf
open("./dll.conf", O_RDONLY)            = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
open("/usr/local/etc/sane.d/dll.conf", O_RDONLY) = 4

Also you should check if the port is reachable or if some portfilter
sits there in between:

[lmeier:/home/lmeier] $ telnet localhost 6566
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.

Please report your results.
