I have an HP Laserjet 1320 printer attached via USb to my gentoo Linux box. No problems (at this moment) with the printer.
But i have an Agfa Snapscan e50 scanner. It works Ok with xsane using the snapscan backend. But today i found that the scanner si stop working in my system. Investigating the cause, i find that HPLIP installation modify the /etc/sane.d/dll.conf file, preventing a not-HP scanner to work correctly. I'm not sure if this is a hplip problem or a Gentoo ebuild related problem. Adding "snapscan" in a new line in the file or restoring the old contents allows my Agfa scanner to work correctly. The equery utility reports that the /etc/sane.d/dll.conf file is related to the two packages: # equery b /etc/sane.d/dll.conf [ Searching for file(s) /etc/sane.d/dll.conf in *... ] media-gfx/sane-backends-1.0.18-r2 (/etc/sane.d/dll.conf) net-print/hplip-1.6.10 (/etc/sane.d/dll.conf) I think my be a good idea if hplip installation add a line for hpaio in the /etc/sane.d/dll.conf file without deleting provious content (or better, adding the line only if isn't yet present in the file). After installation of hplip the /etc/sane.d/dll.conf file contains: # cat dll.conf hpaio While the original /etc/sane.d/dll.conf file contents installed by sane-backends is: # cat dll.conf # enable the next line if you want to allow access through the network: net abaton agfafocus apple avision artec artec_eplus48u as6e bh canon canon630u #canon_pp coolscan coolscan2 #dc25 #dc210 #dc240 dell1600n_net dmc epson fujitsu #gphoto2 genesys gt68xx hp hpsj5s hp3500 hp4200 hp5400 ibm leo lexmark ma1509 matsushita microtek microtek2 mustek #mustek_pp mustek_usb mustek_usb2 nec niash pie pint pixma plustek #plustek_pp #pnm qcam ricoh s9036 sceptre sharp sm3600 sm3840 snapscan sp15c #st400 #stv680 tamarack teco1 teco2 teco3 #test u12 umax #umax_pp umax1220u v4l # # The following backends are not included in the sane-backends distribution # If you want to use them, download them from their webpages and read their # documentation # # HP OfficeJet backend homepage: http://hpoj.sf.net/ # Uncomment the following line if hpoj is installed: #hpoj ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
