Does not try eSCL if WS fails #289

Closed mikhailnov closed 1 year ago

mikhailnov commented 1 year ago

Hello! I have tested sane-airscan with Kyocera ECOSYS M2640idw, which works via eSCL only by default. When I had the wsdd (https://github.com/christgau/wsdd) daemon running, I got a message: WSDD: bind(0.0.0.0:3702): Address is already in use It is because wsdd listens 0.0.0.0:3702. No scanners were found. Then I added ws-discovery = off into /etc/sane.d/airscan.conf and eSCL Kyocera was found. Seems that sane-airscan does not try eSCL if WS discovery fails, can it continue and try eSCL?

Hi, @mikhailnov,

A while ago the similar issue was already reported to the WSDD project: https://github.com/christgau/wsdd/issues/95

I was participating in the discussion and in the investigation

We came to agreement that issue is at their side, and issue seems to be fixed there. Strange, that it came back again.

The patch that you've proposed will lead to instability in the sane-airscan work. Sometimes it will work with WSD properly, sometimes it will not work. And it will be hard to guess for the end user what is going on.

In a case of conflict or if WS-Discovery is just needed, sane-airscan allows to disable WS-Discovery via its configuration file (/etc/sane.d/airscan.conf):

[options]
ws-discovery = off

Thanks! I had wsdd 0.6.4, it does not have that fix. Great if hackery in sane-airscan is not required.
