Hello. I'm using an OfficeJet Pro 1150C with a Debian-Testing. I'have installed hplip-1.6.10 from source code and finally (after some time spent to understand what i missed in the kernel) I was able to print. Unfortunatly i still have problem when trying to scan. The printer is correctly detected and it appears when i execute hp-toolbox. xsane too starts without problems, but it's unable to scan anything returning a I/O error message after some minutes.
There are a couple of strange messages when i execute hp-check: HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (ver. 1.6.10) Dependency/Version Check Utility ver. 4.0 Copyright (c) 2003-6 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, LP This software comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

Please refer to the installation instructions at: http://hplip.sourceforge.net/install/index.html 1) The first thing I don't understand is the error message: Checking for dependency 'ppdev (ppdev - Parallel port support kernel module.)'... error: Not found! error: This is a REQUIRED dependency. My kernel does have the support for ppdev (I recompiled it) and in fact # zcat /proc/config.gz |grep PPD CONFIG_PPDEV=y Can this message appear only because the support is compiled as built-in and not as module? And can this be the origin of the I/O error message in xsane? 2) 'hpaio' in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf'... --> OK, found. SANE backend 'hpaio' is not properly set up. Ok, so... what can i do for this? How do I set-up it? It appears something strange in my logs too: - from dmesg: ppdev0: registered pardevice ppdev0: negotiated back to compatibility mode because user-space forgot ppdev0: unregistered pardevice ppdev1: claim the port first ppdev2: claim the port first these lines repeat for a lot of times - from /var/log/messages: Dec 22 11:40:14 localhost xsane: unable to fill data buffer: size=18411: prnt/hpijs/hplip_api.c 450 Dec 22 11:42:54 localhost xsane: hpaio: ipConvert error=20 I think I told you everything, any ideas?
