Hi, no idea why, but I just cannot find any serious docs on how to make my Oki MC261 scanner work. is this because nobody tried yet or because it should be easy? I tried sane-airscan some guessed URLs [devices] MC361_9967e=http://MC361.fritz.box:9967/eSCL MC361_9100e=http://MC361.fritz.box:9100/eSCL MC361_9967w=http://MC361.fritz.box:9967/WSDScanner, WSD MC361_9100w=http://MC361.fritz.box:9100/WSDScanner, WSD but it just doesn't work. Open ports according to nmap are 80/tcp open http 515/tcp open printer 631/tcp open ipp 9100/tcp open jetdirect 9967/tcp open unknown printing works fine. I tried HPLIP because of the jetdirect port, but this doesn't work either. cite from manual:> All major network protocols supported via ethernet card with > internal web server for printer and network card set-up and > management. TCP/IPv4&v6, SMTP, POP3, HTTP, SNMPv1&v3, > DHCP, DNS, LPR, Port9100, BOOTP, ARP, FTP, CIFS, LDAP, SLP, > Bonjour, Web Services Discovery, NetWare, EtherTalk, NetBEUI it offers Netware, Netbeui and ethertalk, but these I disabled because they are outdated? avahi-daemon.service was disabled again, I enabled & started it. sane saned.socket was disabled, I enabled it. yeah, after enabling this, lookup works: network dnssd://MC361._pdl-datastream._tcp.local/ network dnssd://MC361._printer._tcp.local/ but this does not help with scanning, or does it? any idea what I am missing? ps. for my previous printer, i found out there were three different backends that somehow worked with it. which backends could work with the Oki? I installed https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/okimfpsdrv but this did not help either. manual work needed? thank you very much JPT
