CanoScan LiDE 110 is connected to my Ubuntu 11.04. I need to scan remotely using the command line.
How can I use the scanner from the command line?
Tried/Failed/Succeed:
$ apt-get install sane sane-utils
$ scanimage
scanimage: no SANE devices found
$ scanadf
scanadf: no SANE devices found
$ sane-find-scanner
failed... over and over to find the correct one.. (very strange)
$ dmesg
now found something...(after waiting a lot)
$ scanimage -L
