Is SANE supported on IGEL OS 12?


Will SANE support be added to OS12? We currently use if for Scanner Redirection on VMware Horizon and it works fine on OS11.

Learn more, read the entire thread inside the IGEL Community o Slack

I see the following for OS 12

app.igel.com/#/api/fabulatech_scanner_redirection/3.3.0+1

And the following command on 12.01.140 shows sane items

“`find /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu | sort | grep -i sane“`

And Ambir supported with this CP

github.com/IGEL-Community/IGEL-Custom-Partitions/tree/master/CP_Source/Apps/Ambir_Scanner


Thanks Ron. I was aware of the Fabulatech package but was hoping to avoid the need for licenses since the scanners work in OS11 with basic SANE support. I’ll check out the CP and see if that does what we need.

• IGEL OS 12 does not currently have sane debug tools

◦ Sane tools from OS 11 to use with OS 12

◦ Please find attached the zip of tar files for sane

Steps to get sane tools onto OS 12:

• Use UMS files to transfer tar file to OS 12 (/wfs folder)

• Command to extract tar file (mkdir -p /wfs/sane && tar xvf /wfs/sane.tar.bz2 -C /wfs/sane)

• To run sane commands (sane-find-scanner)

◦ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/wfs/sane/usr/lib && /wfs/sane/usr/bin/sane-find-scanner

◦ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/wfs/sane/usr/lib && /wfs/sane/usr/bin/scanimage

◦ Other commands are in /wfs/sane/usr/bin


I will test this and let you know.
