Printscan server

Version 3.0

This repository contains files used to set up our printscan server on a freshly installed Armbian. Target is Bullseye.

Introduction

(see wiki for need and concept explanation)

Version 3.0 implementation works roughly as follows:

SBC

• the Armbian-based device is connected to local network, and an all-in-one printer is connected to it via USB;
• SANE and CUPS services are installed and running on the device;
• CUPS is configured to provide a remote printer to network;
• SANE is configured to provide network scan to a specific host only.

Applicative container

• this specific host is an applicative container running scanservjs;
• it is configured to use the scanner provided by the SBC.

Files

Files in this repository only cover the SBC setup.

Installation

• setup.sh is a script automating the installation and configuration of required software
