Once upon a time, I had HP somesuch in my menu (possibly back on
fc4). I'm currently on FC7 and I swear there used to be something in
the menus about the scanner or sane or whatnot. I cannot find
scanner stuff.
I just now did:
$ apropos scanner | front
and got a hit on xsane. I ran xsane, it scanned for devices and
found none. Now, I *know* I've successfully scanned in with that
scanner.
$ apropos scanner
gave me a couple screens full. I have no idea where to start.
I have the HP5610 All-In-One (including fax) on FC7. I have no
trouble printing to it, so it's not a physical connection problem.
I seek advice.
I did a quick search for you and most people were very happy with this
device and the xsane use of it. Linux.com says nice things too...
"Setting up the Officejet 5610 for use with the XSane scanning
application requires no effort at all, at least on the distributions I
tried it with. XSane detects the scanner at startup time, and it's
ready to use -- period. You don't have to do anything. Life on the
Linux desktop has changed considerably since the days when I wrote an
article entitled "Sane is making me crazy." "

I did run across one link that may have a tip for you from someone
that only has a problem with scan/xsane:
"Well for me my printer was /dev/bus/usb/002/002
Yours may be a different device, anyways, you may have to have a look
at each directory and device there to find the correct one. Right
clicking on the devices and selecting properties, permissions will
show the info you need, you are looking for the one with root as owner
and the group lp. Make it readable and writable. Then it should work
fine for you.
It worked. Thank you very much for your help."

This is from a SuSe forum but the tip is about device permissions and
the hplip driver....

HTH
I'm guessing that I lost the scanner icon about the same time I lost the
print system icon (apparently *not* CUPS).
But I'll try that.
$ cd /dev/bus/usb/
$ ll -aR

I'm a dummy!!! :-[
My camera cable is still plugged in from last time I uploaded fotos
(yesterday). (I thought the physical connection to the All-In-One was
fine because I just printed on it *two* days ago.) >:o
