Hi, This mail is just to share some experience using HP PSC 1315 multifunction device with Linux..
This device was working with Mandriva Linux 2006 without any problem. Recently I upgraded to Mandriva 2007. Scanner stopped working since then. Internet is full of cries saying that new hplip driver breaks the scanner. After pulling out my remaining hair for few hours, I thought for a while, then searched for missing functionality related rpms. I notice one missing file/rpm was linsane-hpaio..... In short. installing linsane-hpaio rpm solves the break in functionality of scanner. You do not have to go back to hpijs driver as is adviced on the LinuxQuestions.org [period]. Now I too have a questions as when psc device gets detected and correct installed as printer during installation why does this libsane-hpaio rpm NOT get installed. But that is the sweet part (wondering) of my growing fresh new hair now... :-) Anyway, I thought I will save others visiting Tirupati in frustration [this is a joke for pulling your own hair in frustration] There goes "whoami" of Linux... Have "Finux" [i mean have Fun using Linux] -- ______________________________________________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: ([email protected]) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
