original post: "Slackware 10 (latest) Kernel 2.4.31 all software installed and documentation complete. sane-find-scanner AND hplip setup find the PSC 1610 (1600 series) USB instantly. sane.dll and hp.conf modified with scanner parameters (taken from sane-find-scanner). hplip, cups and saned configured and started as per instructions. Print functions all work 100% through CUPS.
xsane and xscanimage don't fail for a long time once all the daemons, etc, properly started but can't find the scanner. I have used this same scanner with the previous version of Slackware (Slack 9 Kernel 2.4.26) and a previous hpiod/hpaio software version which was current as of the Fall of 2005/early 2006 (it may have been downloaded directly from a link to HP but I don't recall). I have read every html and man page repeatedly, and fixed my services, inet.conf, etc as required. I have manually restarted daemons in the proper order after boot to be certain. I don't need this scanner, but I am curious why it is not found. libusb and all other mentioned pieces seem to be in place and functioning. Any other libraries or docs I should know about? Thanks." at Aaron's ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) request I am posting the solution to my problem (after running hp-check and using export SANE_DEBUG_DLL=128 with scanimage -L . The documentation recommendation to use "saned -d -s" failed to produce any debug output in my syslog ...I tried both command line and inetd.conf) The most recent hplip source did not register the cupsext module, which made it impossible to use the hp tools like hp-check and hp-setup. I have no python experience but I managed to figure out where to look and got the list of options for setup.py (specifically setup.py register) and this problem was solved. Next I learned after much kludging around that the libsane-hpaio.so.1 symbolic link was not created in /usr/lib/sane as required by my Slackware 10.1 sane package. All the other backend libraries were properly linked. I had to find the library in the hplip install directories and link them by hand. A related note...GIMP 2.2 (Slackware install package) does not seem to allow me to acquire images from any scanner (compilation options perhaps), there is no way that I can find to configure or call a scanner. I know I could do this under Slack 9 with 1 year earlier versions of everything. Anyway, maybe this is useful.
