I don't have a LJ3300 MFP, but our LJ3320 MFP does work ok. The LJ3320 does have ADF. They should both work ok since they are based on the same platform, but you never know for sure. There is no special code for ADF code versus no-ADF unless you are in batch mode. Since you have no ADF you would not be using batch. The MDF hardware handles ADF not software.
Are there any syslog messages when you start a scan job? What lines or where is this thread on patching hplip? -dave > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf > Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, December 21, 2006 8:02 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [Hplip-help] HP LaserJet 3300 mfp - Failed to start > scanner: Document feeder out of documents > > Folks, > > I have a HP 3300 Multi-Function Printer at home which I've > been using with Linux.
