[sane-devel] help with getting scanbd and interactive scanner tools working together

[Ron Young]

Hi Everyone:

    I have been working on getting scanbd and sane working together on
    my x86 linuxmint 21.2 system with fujitsu snapscan ix500.

    How I want things to work is as follows:

    1) using scanbd, press the single start button on the ix500 scanner,
       the adf contents should be scanned in /var/spool/scan without any
       further action.

    2) Either as root or a normal user in the scanner group, using common
       tools (i.e. gscan2pdf, simple-scan, scanimage, etc)... scan the 
documents
       in the ix500.

    my current configuration works for either 1 or 2 but NOT at the same
    time. I would be very happy if I could do either of them as needed 
without
    having to change anything.

    I have attached two files that contain the detailed steps I used for 
each of the above configurations. sane-devel-saned is the configuration 
of saned without scanbd, and sane-devel-scanbd is the config with scanbd 
active.

    Of course they contain shell commands, that I cut and paste from my 
notes during testing, I don't run them directly as shell scripts.

Any help that you can give me would be appreciated!
