Version: 0.39 (kde 3.1rc5) (using KDE KDE 3.0.99) Installed from: Compiled From Sources Compiler: gcc 3.2 OS: Linux I have a scanner (OfficeJet 1170C) installed on a linux server. I can successfully scan over the network from any client with XSane and even with a TWAIN driver under Windows. Unfortunately I can not scan from Kooka as it reports "No scanner found." I never saw any dialog box about asking for the username and password for this network scanner so I disabled temporary the user/password restrictions and granted it for the whole network. - No Success. I also tried to supplement the user and password in ~./.sane/pass but Kooka seems to ignore this.
Please check under menu point Settings/Configure Kooka on tab Startup if you have enabled the checkbox 'Query network for available scanners'. If it is off, no query on the network is performed in order to save startup time. But indeed, Kooka does not yet care for user authentication which is a bug. Can you give me a few words what about the ~/.sane/pass thing? I have not heard about it. Thanks.
'Query network for available scanners' is on. The scanner also makes some noise as it does when invoking a 'scanimage -L'. The hint about the pass file a got from http://www.penguin-breeder.org/?page=sane-net
Is this bug still there in a recent version of KDE, such as 3.5.8 or KDE4.0 RC2?
Possible duplicate of 110338? If this is still an issue, and you can compile from source, please check out and try the SVN version at branches/work/kooka-kde3. This allows the scan device to be manually entered in the case where SANE cannot detect it; either specify it on the command line with the '-d' switch, or use the new "Add Scan Device" menu option. This should work with HP networked scanners using HPLIP.
For saned user authentication requirement, see bug 146874.
