Hello Daniel Contents of /etc/udev/rules.d:
40-hplip.rules 70-persistent-cd.rules 56-hpmud_support.rules 70-persistent-net.rules 64-device-mapper.rules 77-nm-probe-modem-capabilities.rules 70-libgphoto2.rules 90-hal.rules 70-libsane.rules 91-usb_modeswitch.rules What was asked for: hp-scan [ok] xsane [ok] scanimage [ok] xscanimage [ok] Although not asked for, and it is obvious: printing [failed] I did not see your *explanation* of how the udev rules mv changes things. I only know *what* happens, not *why*. Regardless, I appreciate your help and seek to learn why the udev rules were preventing me from printing.
