Title:
URI for JetDirect Works with XSane in 1.05(Intrepid) doesn't work in
1.1.12(Karmic)
Status in system-config-printer package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
Binary package hint: system-config-printer
When I install my HP multi-function OfficeJet 7310 under Intrepid/8.10 with
system-install-printer 1.0.5, the URI used for the printer is:
hp:/net/Officejet_7300_series?ip=THEPRINTER'SIPADDR
When I install the same printer under Karmic/9.10 with system-install-printer
1.1.12, the URI used for the printer is:
socket://THEPRINTERNAME:9100
Both of these URI's work from the point of view of printing. But, the
new socket-based URI does not work with XSane. So, XSane does not
recognize the mult-function printer as capable of scanning with the
use of the socket-based URI.
There may be reasons for this change of which I am not aware. But,
for me, it meant that I had to dig into the config of the printer to
try to figure out why things "just worked" in Intrepid(which is
marvelous) and now, under Karmic, they don't. I was lucky enough to
recognize the difference in the config and try the "hp" URI on Karmic.
A printer expert I am certainly not.
With a change to the "hp-based" URI, all is now working on Karmic.
So, there is certainly a work around.
