Scanning has only ever worked on one Ubuntu Dapper install with HPLIP 0.9.7, but although I've tried to reproduce this setup on the very same machine it doesn't any longer. :-/ I don't think there's a USB hub kicking around here anywhere, but for what they cost I can buy one if you think it would help. What's the thinking here - could this problem be related to the use of USB 2.0 ports on the motherboard?
