Hi, thank you very much. It was the right command.
scanimage -L
but it didn’t find a scanner: No scanners were identified ------------------------------------------------------- with sudo it found my printer/scanner
sudo scanimage -LPasswort: device `hpaio:/usb/Officejet_J4500_series?serial=CN92G561F4052T' is a Hewlett-Packard Officejet_J4500_series all-in-one
-------------------------------------------------------- "sudo sane-find-scanner"
# No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that # you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.
found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0 [HP], product=0x2a12 [Officejet J4500 series]) at libusb:003:006 could not fetch string descriptor: Pipe error could not fetch string descriptor: Pipe error # Your USB scanner was (probably) detected.

it found a usb scanner, but could not fetch string descriptor. 1. does this message say that proprietary software is the problem? -------------------------------------------------------------------
Please read the documentation which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
2.Can I read documentation with the terminal, having no documentation on paper? Which commands I have to use?

It would be best to consult the documentation. Kind regards Felix Lechner
