Samsung 2880 - Gentoo Works

[ericghara]

First of all Alex, thank you! I spent an hour unsuccessfully trying to get this scanner to work with Samsung's unified drivers or hacking xerox_mfp. It only took me a few minutes to set-up with your driver! All features of the scanner work in wsd mode.

Setup for gentoo-ers:

If you want a more compact sane-backends installation add to your /etc/portage/make.conf:
SANE_BACKENDS="net"

Make sure you emerge sane-backends with the zeroconf use flag enabled (allows avahi package to be installed). If needed add this to your package.use:
sane media-gfx/sane-backends zeroconf

Then
emerge -av media-gfx/sane-backends

from there setup as in the readme.md
git clone https://github.com/alexpevzner/sane-airscan.git
cd sane-airscan
make
make install

Out of the box I was able to find my printer without touching the airscan.conf file.
scanimage -L
device airscan:w0:Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. M288x Series' is a WSD Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. M288x Series ip=169.255.0.1, 192.168.1.64

And scan from command line or with simple-scan

Cool!

Thanks!

Your Gentoo-specific comments doesn't tell too much for me (I'm on Fedora), but may be helpful for other Gentoo users. If you want to share your experience, you may consider conrtibuting a Gentoo-specific section to the README.md

@alexpevzner
Your airscan driver is now part of the Gentoo package tree under "media-gfx/sane-airscan". So a simple emerge (equivalent of yum or apt-get) will do the job. So no need for a Gentoo-specific section, but ericghara's information is useful.nontheless
