SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) is an open-source software that provides access to a wide range of scanners, including network scanners. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing SANE Network Scanning on Clear Linux Latest.
Before you begin, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
SANE requires several packages to be installed before installation. Run the following command to install the dependencies:
sudo swupd bundle-add gnome-sdk devpkg-sane-backends libjpeg-turbo-dev libtiff-dev
To install SANE Network Scanning, run the following command:
sudo swupd bundle-add sane-network-scanning
After successful installation, we need to configure SANE. Open the /etc/saned.conf file in your favorite text editor and add the following line at the end of the file:
192.168.1.0/24
Replace 192.168.1.0/24 with the IP address range of your network. This line allows access to any device on the network to use SANE.
To start SANE service, run the following command:
sudo systemctl start saned.service
To check the status of the SANE service, use the following command:
sudo systemctl status saned.service
If the service is running correctly, you should see something like this:
● saned.service - SANE network scanner server
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/saned.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: active (running) since Thu 2022-01-01 10:00:00 CDT; 1min 30s ago
