Scanners

From K12LTSP Wiki

Getting a scanner to work on K12LTSP is pretty easy - when you know how to do it.

This is how I got our Fujitsu ScanSnap S510 USB scanners to work under K12LTSP.

• The thin-client connected to the scanner needs to have a fixed IP address
  • Modify dhcpd-k12ltsp.conf so it contains the MAC-address of the thin client and assign an IP-address.
  • Remove dhcpd.leases; restart dhcpd (service dhcpd restart)
  • Restart the thin client and it should receive its fixed IP-address.
• Add the thin client fixed IP address to /etc/sane.d/net.conf
• Check if /etc/sane.d/fujitsu.conf and /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/sane.d/fujitsu.conf contain the proper info about the ScanSnap. I had to add the following:
  • To find this info for your scanner connect it directly to the K12LTSP server and as root issue the command "sane-find-scanner"

#scansnap S510
usb 0x04c5 0x1155

• Add this to /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf under the [default] section:

# Scanner support
XINETD_SERVICES = "saned"

• Now your scanner should be visible to all thin-clients.
