PLEASE NOTE: This section assumes that you’ve already configured your Raspberry Pi or that you know how to do this. You should just try with LAN if you are doing this with a network enabled device, then try USB if it’s doesn’t work.

Remember the official Windows drivers and software are separate.įirst and foremost, this is a setup that works both for LAN connection and USB connection as I figured out for this particular scanner, Canon LiDE 700F.
Nowadays multi-function boxes like this is pretty common, but the software is still pretty different for scanning and printing. It’s a perfect study-case for a tiny Raspberry Pi, as these tasks don’t require much horsepower.Įven though you have one device for both scanner and printer, they are separate things. Because after all, the manufacturers make money on the ink and not on good hardware. Printers are not famous for being very trustworthy or stable. As the world shifts to the full digital age, it’s less and less common to perform these tasks.īut as we all know when you need the old hardware to work, you need it badly.
They pretty much saves the day if you don’t want to have a dedicated Windows PC just for scanning or printing every once in a while. It turns out, even old scanners has a function in the modern era, thanks to our brothers and sisters at the SANE project.įor printers, you have CUPS and for scanners you have SANE
