[sane-devel] Error during device I/O with network attached HP
Thanks Johannes, I'll see what information I can get through the HPLIP mailing list. I saw the listing on the support page that claims that the 4100 doesn't have network support, and I am confused what that means. I can ping the printer on the network. I can print to it over the network. I've been doing that for months now. Where does scanimage -L get its information from? Does reply indicate that it is connecting to the printer, or just that the driver is installed? I guess it must be the latter since I get the same response with the printer turned off. -steve On Wednesday 30 May 2007, sane-devel-request at lists.alioth.debian.org wrote: Hello, On May 29 10:29 Steven Legowik wrote (shortened): I am trying to access the scanning function of a network attache HP LaserJet 4100MFP, but I keep getting Error during device I/O from xsane.
