It seems like I'm lost in this loop and I don't know how to proceed--I think.
I have an HP wireless printer/scanner which depends on hplip. Hplip won't configure without "sane-backends" unless I disable the scanning option in the driver. I don't think I can disable this option and still have the scanner visible to sane for its installation. The "sane-backends" page of the books says to run scanimage -L to test the installation. It won't see my scanner--my printer--until I have the printer driver installed and the printer configured. I'm thinking that I can assume a "good" installation of sane-backends, go ahead and do it, and then install hplip. Then I would test the sane-backends installation. I'm thinking that hplip depends on the existence of the sane files and not their proper operation. If the results of "scanimage -L" are not successful, I could then recompile and rebuild sane. Does anyone have experience with installing hplip and sane? If so, I would appreciate any guidance. If not, then comments on my procedure are welcome. ....and all this depends on the necessity of net-snmp. But that's another thread.
