I need something that will work with all possible configurations. I'm aware of the Twain/SANE bridge, but that seems to be a one way street and assumes Windows is the client. Dynamic Web TWAIN is a TWAIN/ICA/SANE-based scanning SDK software specifically designed for web applications running on Windows/macOS/Linux. I'm trying to make sharing as transparent as possible, so that it just works. So, is there a transparent way to share the scanner from:Īll using the same package (in much the same way Synergy works across the network regardless of the OS in use on the two machines). As you say, the chances are good that it will work as it is listed. Once you have either of those, you can untar and build SANE from the source code (check the readme for the required libraries) and it may or may not work with your Canon 9000F Scanner. Ideally, I'd like to see a remotescan client on Ubuntu, though I understand there isn't one yet. The scanner must be detected by Windows and not be disabled.
#Twain sane bridge windows install
I know it can be done Linux to Linux using SANE, and I have it working Windows to Windows using remote scan, but I'd also like to get Windows to Linux (ie - the scanner connected to a running windows install shared with the Ubuntu machine). Now I want to share the scanner on PC1 across the network. I have remote desktop working using vnc (tight vnc on the windows side). Features are: Preview scan, zoom preview, selection of resolution and color depth, image adjustments (gamma, brightness, sharpen, blur) and transfer via file. I have two PCs on my lan, both dual booting XP and Ubuntu.Īfter installing Ubuntu, I set about sharing the resources I want to share, printer, drive, mouse and keyboard (using synergy).
