Dear guix, When running simple-scan,
$ LANG=C simple-scan I get a dialog showing "No scanners detected". However, when I run the same with sudo, $ LANG=C sudo simple-scan I don’t get the icons, but the scanner is detected and usable. I am currently in the following supplementary-groups: '("wheel" "netdev" "audio" "video" "lpadmin" "scanner") Is it not enough? Running: $ hp-scan -ldebug I get: HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (ver. 3.20.11) Scan Utility ver. 2.2 Copyright (c) 2001-18 HP Development Company, LP This software comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

Also, when I try to add it as a printer in the GNOME control center, I can select the printer but then I get a dialog "Failed to add new printer.", with a console message that seems relevant: (gnome-control-center:9651): printers-cc-panel-WARNING **: 21:08:07.779: cups-pk-helper: addition of printer Deskjet-2050-J510 failed: cups-authentication-canceled What do I do wrong? What can I do to debug it? Best regards, divoplade
