I just upgraded to Mageia 5 and noted that on opening Xsane the search for the scanner is quite slow (maybe 3+ minutes). I don't think it is Mageia 5, but more likely a change on my ISP service and a change in IP addresses.
I have a Brother MFC_J6710DW multifunction printer/scanner. The printer works fine. The scanner works once Xsane finds it.
When I run strace scanimage -L, it hangs at the following line:
- Code: Select all
connect(14, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(6566), sin_addr=inet_addr("192.168.1.100")}, 16) = -1 ETIMEDOUT (Connection timed out)
specifically at the address "192.168.1.100". That was an address on my home network before the change in the ISP and no longer exists (which is why it hangs and times out). On all the computers the inet addresses have been changed and it is changed in all the /etc/host files on the computers.
I don't know where scanimage is picking up that address and can't figure out how to remove it. It is the old address for my machine, but I don't know where else it might be stored.
Thanks for any help or advice.
