A local network provides various advantages for working with data: copying, transferring information, sharing programs and equipment. For example, one device can work with several computers on a network.
It is necessary
- - a computer;
- - configured local network;
- - scanner.
Instructions
Step 1
Download RemoteScan 5 to share the scanner over the network in Windows. You can download it here https://www.remote-scan.com/. Install the server version of the program on the computer to which the scanner is connected. Install the client version of the application on other computers in the network. When installing the latest version, the program will display a message stating that the scanner was not found, do not worry, this is normal. After installing the server version, the program icon will appear in the tray. Click on it with the right mouse button, go to "Settings" to connect the scanner to the network. Select your scanner and configure the ports. The scanner may not immediately detect it, it will take from one to three minutes
Step 2
Open your firewall / antivirus and allow access to port 6077, if you have NOD 32 antivirus, go to your personal firewall, go to the interactive mode in the settings and create a separate rule for the RemoteScan program. After that, install the client versions on other computers. The installation of the network scanner in Windows is now complete.
Step 3
Set up a network scanner in Ubuntu OS. Go to the terminal, enter the command # apt-get install and enter the name of the required package - sane-utils, then open the scanner configuration file, which can be located in the /etc/sane.d/ folder with the name saned.conf, add the address to the end of the file of the computer to which you want to share the scanner. Edit the #nano /etc/inetd.conf file, add the line sane-port stream tcp nowait saned: saned there and specify the following path / usr / sbin / saned saned.
Step 4
Create a Scanner group: #groupadd scanner. Add users to this group with the following command: # #usermod -aG scanner "Username"; usermod -aG scanner saned. Edit the 40-libsane.rules file located in the nano /lib/udev/rules.d/ folder and find your scanner there. Change the line with the scanner name to something like this: # "Scanner name"; ATTRS {idVendor} == "03f0", ATTRS {idProduct} == "4305", ENV {libsane_matched} = "yes", MODE = "664", "Group name" = "scanner".
Step 5
Configure the client computer: install the sane-utils package using the standard package installer apt-get install, edit the net.conf file located in the nano /etc/sane.d/ folder, add the address of the scanner computer to the end of this file. The scanner's network connection is complete.
