I'm running Dapper, with all packages up to date (27.Sep.2007) and hplip installed, and I'm trying to access a HP C4180 as scanner (printing works).
I also don't have "hpaio.conf" in /etc/sane.d, although "/etc/sane.d/dll.d/hplip" contains a line "hpaio" which I presume means that it should include the hpaio backend. I've manually created the file /etc/sane.d/hpaio.conf with proper owner/access rights and only put these 2 lines in it: # HP PSC C4180 usb 0x03f0 0x5711 "sane-find-scanner" lists the scanner, but "scanimage -L" says "No scanners were identified.", even after restarting "/etc/init.d/hplip". It seems like the right sane backend is simply missing. Regarding sane and backends, these are the packages that I have installed: sane sane-utils libsane libsane-extras -- Scanner not recognized by default https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107064 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
