One page to check is this one for the hpaio backend http://hpinkjet.sourceforge.net/hplip_readme.html Also check www.sane-project.org/README.linux file Check your libusb and hotplug package and maybe update your kernel also check your sane-backend package version (present version is 1.0.15) -- -------- m.vr.gr.
