Hi,
I have been a Mageia 5 user since the day it was released and I was able to get almost everything working that I needed with the help of google and Mageia forums.
I purchased a DELL E515DW multifunction machine last week. I have connected the machine to my wireless network, downloaded the printer driver from DELL website, install google cups printer driver and now I am able to print wirelessly from my home desktop running on Mageia 5. I am also able to print anything from my mobile using google cloud print option.
However, I am not able to use the scanner with my Mageia linux. SANE doesn't seem to support my AIO machine. Running the command "scanimage -L" does not give any fruitful output. However, running the command sane-find-scanner as root is showing the printer with the vendor id and product id (when connected the machine via USB). Is it possible to setup the scanner in my linux (Mageia)?
If it is not possible to use the scanner in traditional way, what are the other options?. The DELL E515DW seems to support "Scan to FTP", but the user guide from DELL doesn't list any procedure to make it working. I am thinking of setting up a FTP server in my mageia linux, and then use the "Scan to FTP" option from the AIO machine. Is there a detailed procedure somewhere on the net on how to get this setup?
Thanks,
Balaji.
