Hi, I have duel boot (Win 98 and Mepis Linus 6.0) on my desktop. Recently I bought HP Photosmart 3100 MFD. The printer functionality was installed under Linux without any problem. However, the scanner functionality was not and the instructions on various websites were too complicated for me. Then I saw mail on Monday, 16th April from "ॐ" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> about HP PSC 1315 MFD and I realised that I could possibly enable scanner by installing libsane-hpaio. The search for this file led me to automatic installer for such devices on this link: http://hplip.sourceforge.net/install/install/index.html. The script ran without any error message that I noticed. However, it did not function - Kooka and Xsane reported "No scanner found". May be, rebooting could recognise the scanner ... However, while rebooting the login screen appears, on selecting user and entering password, the password gets accepted (no incorrect password message), but the screen returns back to login state and no user can log in. However, root login is possible. What should I do? Should I refer to logs under var/log? Which? And what specific should I look for? What could be my options afterwords? (I am still a newbie.) Thanks Vikas Garud
