Hello,



  

Questions:
Does anyone use the HP PSC 1210 all-in-one printer with a lenny system and

The kernel hang disappeared after installing the 2.6.30 kernel from 
backports.org.

2) can scan with it, or not ?



2) yes.

I'm running a somewhat out of data sid which is probably pretty close
to lenny at this point. It has worked just find with xsane in sid
since at least the sarge days

Can you provide more details about how sane *doesn't* find the
scanner?

what output do you get from :

sane-find-scanner -v

scanimage -L

you may want to run sane-find-scanner as root...
  
Finally could sit behind the computer again.  Indeed root could see the 
scanner, and the user had to be added to the group "scanner", restart 
X/gnome, and it worked.


Thanks,
Eric

Problems with HP PSC 1210 all-in-one printer on lenny

2009-08-04 Thread Eric Meijer

Hello,

I recently did a fresh install of a lenny distribution on a P4 system 
for a family member (I don't have direct access right now).  During the 
installation I connected a HP PSC 1210 all-in-one printer through USB 
and I was able to print with it (CUPS printer installed via Gnome 
desktop system-administration-printing).


I could not get the scanner part to work with sane / xsane, which 
consistently could not detect the printer.  Looking in the debian-user 
archives I saw various hints that this printer has been working with 
debian for various people in the past, though I am not entirely sure.


Next problem is that when the system is booted with the printer 
connected (not switched on, but I suspect it is in a kind of stand-by 
mode), the kernel appears to hang, just after the statement that there 
are no IPv6 routers (which in itself is correct).  Disconnecting the 
printer then causes a spontaneous reboot, where there is a question if a 
bug-report should be sent to the kernel-developers.  The standard lenny 
kernel is installed, linux-image-2.6.26-2-686 package, version of July 
30 (whatever that was, I can check).


Questions:
Does anyone use the HP PSC 1210 all-in-one printer with a lenny system and
1) also has a kernel hang, or not
2) can scan with it, or not ?

In the bug system I could find a bug about a kernel hang that may be 
related (also seems to be a USB issue with the kernel) 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=525896.


Any suggestions appreciated,

Eric Meijer
