The file that you need to modify is : /usr/local/etc/sane.d/dll.conf If you like to know more about it see: man sane-dll If you want to know about sane support for your HP scanners see: man sane-hp In your case configure sane like this: --------------------- /usr/local/etc/sane.d:/dll.conf hp --------------------- /usr/local/etc/sane.d/hp.conf /dev/pass2 In my case, I have : cat /usr/local/etc/sane.d/dll.conf umax cat /usr/local/etc/sane.d/umax.conf /dev/pass1 If you need to know about xscanimage for instance how to use sane with gimp: man xscanimage: RUNNING UNDER THE GIMP To run xscanimage under the gimp(1), simply copy it to one of the gimp(1) plug-ins directories. If you want to con- serve disk-space, you can create a symlink instead. For example, the command ln -s /usr/local/bin/xscanimage ~/.gimp/plug-ins/ adds a symlink for the xscanimage binary to the user's plug-ins directory. After creating this symlink, xscanim- age will be queried by gimp(1) the next time it's invoked. From then on, xscanimage can be invoked through "Xtns->Acquire Image->Device dialog..." menu entry. You'll also find that the "Xtns->Acquire Image" menu con- tains short-cuts to the SANE devices that were available at the time the xscanimage was queried. For example, the first PNM pseudo-device is typically available as the short-cut "Xtns->Acquire Image->pnm:0". Note that gimp(1) caches these short-cuts in ~/.gimp/pluginrc. Thus, when the list of available devices changes (e.g., a new scanner is installed), then it is typically desirable to rebuild this cache. To do this, you can either touch(1) the xscanimage binary (e.g., "touch /usr/local/bin/xscanim- age") or delete the plug-ins cache (e.g., "rm ~/.gimp/plug-ins"). Either way, invoking gimp(1) Here is the nice Web pointer to the SANE project: http://panda.mostang.com/sane/ A side note with respect to the FreeBSD scsi api, the last time that I checked your pass devices must be named "pass" that is if I create a device node : mknod foo c 31 3 which in my case is my scsi scanner the scsi library will fail to access my scsi scanner. Last but not least gimp/sane with my umax scsi scanner works wonderfully over here and since you well pointed it out you can access sane over the network which I have done in the past over here.
