The hplip testing srpm doesn't include libsane-hpaio. Although there is a bug filed on RH bugzilla at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=585362 it seems to be just sitting there, or being moved to system-config-printer. In Arch, Debian, and FreeBSD if one installs hplip (though in FreeBSD, one has to use the port, rather than pkg_add -r, and specify that scanning is desired), it works as expected. One types hp-setup -i <whatever> and it will locate the device, possibly requiring you to specify the path to the ppd (at least in FreeBSD, I don't remember the others, and then you will have a device that can both print and scan. In CentOS 5.x, ScientificLinux 6 beta, and Fedora, it doesn't. Running scanimage -L shows that there are no scanners. As soon as one installs libsane-hpaio, however, scanimage -L shows the scanner and it works. I haven't tested this with the rpmforge testing version--however, looking at the spec file indicates that it too lacks the REQUIRES libsane-hpaio line, which would cause the same problem. I won't really have the time for a week or so, but I suspect that I'm correct. I'm not sure how common the problem is--judging from Fedora forums, it definitely occurs with various all-in-ones--I assume it doesn't occur in all of them. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Anya: This isn't a relationship.
