Hi,

not a specific opensuse question, but i try to ask first here:

anybody using a sharp mx3060n (network) printer? i bought one used machine, printing fine, with the ppd file from sharp.

(throwing away my more than 20 year old qms-minolta desklaser(s) 6100 - anybody need spare-parts or color toner?)

but what is a good way to use the scanner and maybe the fax functionality?

as i understood, scanner is able to scan to a network drive or the internal harddisk, and the internal harddisk could somehow used as a network drive. maybe its also possible to fax something if copy to that drive. but i have not understand how to set it up (printerside) or if there is a better way, so that i could use xane to scan direct from opensuse. (my preferred approach)

regards,

Ok, i got a forward xane working: with the airscan package from: https://github.com/alexpevzner/sane-airscan -> http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/pzz (seems to be the author) and activating the airscan function inside the printer, i am able to use xsane. note: with the "official" sane-backends inkluded airscan for tumbleweed the scanner is detected, but will get a "internal server errror" i have for this done: echo "escl" | tee /etc/sane.d/dll.d/escl to enable it in sane. after remove the file escl and installing the above mentioned package it worked. simoN -- www.becherer.de
