[QUOTE="markosjal, post: 751053, member: 114810"] I have been working on a solution to share a Windows scanner with MacOS, Linux and Android. I have nearly competed the project for basic scanning functionality and now and would like to find people who can test. If you have a working scanner on your Windows computer (Windows 7 though 10) and have the need to sometimes scan from Linux, MacOS or Android , this may be the solution for you. It will not share a scanner from Windows to Windows unless there is a generic eSCL scanner driver for "Driverless Scanning" on Windows that I am unaware of. Linux, MacOS and Android can all use "Driverless Scanning" which is effectively how I share the Windows Scanner with this solution [B][I]Aside from the PHP code I have you will need:[/I] XAMPP for Windows[/B] [URL='https://www.apachefriends.org/download.html']Download XAMPP[/URL] (built and tested with PHP 8)) [B]CMDTwain[/B] [URL='http://www.gssezisoft.com/main/cmdtwain/']Easy Document Scanning Freeware - CmdTwain by GssEziSoft[/URL] [B]Bonjour Print Services for Windows[/B] [URL='https://support.apple.com/kb/dl999?locale=en_US']Download Bonjour Print Services for Windows v2.0.2[/URL] (only needed if conectitng to a Mac or need Automatic Detection on Android or Linux) Please contact me if you would like to help improve this product.
