Subject: [blfs-support] scanimage crashes with hplip plug-in (was: [BLFS
8.4] PyQt4 build failure)
[...]
I've retitled this thread, since the original title is no longer the
problem. Is there anyone here who has built hplip in BLFS, installed
the scanner plug-in and can use scanimage and xsane?

Hello,
I hate to be the one who says this, but as you have probably already realized
by now, there is not going to be much that people on this list are going to be
able to suggest to correct this, as it is most likely going to end up being an
issue with the binary.
Yes, that seems likely. Still, HP all-in-one devices are pretty common,
so I would think that there are other BLFS users with one and it could
be helpful to know if some of them are able to use the hplip scanner
plug-in under BLFS (while recognizing that may not help me to use it
with my device, precisely because it's a binary).
Yes, I do have an Officejet_Pro_6970 and it works fine for me. However,
I am using an older version of hplip, 3.16.11. My notes say that I need
to build, in order,
cups
ghostscript
cups-filters
gutenprint
sane (for hplip)
net-snmp (for hplip, not in blfs)
hplip (not in blfs)
For some reason I needed to build hplip with ./configure --prefix=/usr
--enable-pp-build
Didn't make sense to me since I'm accessing the printer via ethernet,
but it was needed to get things to work.
I then use xsane for scanning, but getting scanning to work was tricky.
I need to have an environment variable:
SANE_DEFAULT_DEVICE='hpaio:/net/Officejet_Pro_6970?ip=192.168.0.204'
And had to massage /etc/cups/printers.conf:
DeviceURI socket://192.168.0.204:9100
and add in HP_OfficeJet_Pro_6970.ppd
As far as I know, there is no binary in my installation.
