Hello, I've been trying to use my HP 5300C to scan documents in Ubuntu. In the past, I had an older HP scanner working before, but it conked out.
Whenever I try to capture an image, I get a variation of "error during device I/O" I've tried gscan2pdf, xsane, simple scan and scanimage. The only thing that works is the preview function in xsane. xsane's preview function produces a perfect image of the document on the scanner, but gives me no way to save. I can capture preview images again and again with no difficulty. When I try to do a full scan with xsane, the scanner makes noise, but stops partway through. A few minutes later, it produces "Error during read: Error during device I/O". With gscan2pdf on the flatbed or ADF, I get "error during device I/O" on attempts to scan. Once the system has produced "Error during device I/O", I have to power cycle the scanner to get any response at all. Here is the output of some relevant commands: scanimage -L: device `avision:libusb:001:022' is a Hewlett-Packard ScanJet 5300C flatbed scanner lsusb (removed other lines): Bus 001 Device 022: ID 03f0:0701 Hewlett-Packard ScanJet 5300c/5370c apt-show-versions libsane: (some other stuff) 1.0.23-3ubuntu3.1 uptodate apt-show-versions sane: (some other stuff) 1.0.14-9 uptodate scanimage -v -p > file.pnm: scanimage: scanning image of size 1272x1748 pixels at 24 bits/pixel scanimage: acquiring RGB frame Progress: 12.3% (never finishes) Afterwards, the scanner flashes its light 5 times. Flashing the light 5 times is supposed to correspond to "Home sensor failure OR carriage locked" I'm looking for help getting this scanner working. Since the preview function works perfectly, the hardware must be capable of scanning. For my tasks, I need to use the ADF. However, finding a command that will let me save the preview would bring me at least a step forward.
