I recently bought a HP officejet 5110: it works very well as USB printer, but I do not know how to configure it as scanner. I posted a message in another list (linuxprinting.hp) but I thinks it was not the best place, so I'm repeating the question here.
Typing sane-find-scanner from shell or using GUI provided by my Linux distribution (Mandriva LE 2005: kernel 2-6-11) does not change the final result: the scanner is not seen by the OS. The answer of sane-find-scanner is: # No SCSI scanners found.[etc] # No USB scanners found. [etc] scanimage -L outputs: "No scanners were identified." etc. The driver used by CUPS is hplip. There is also hpoj, that I understand that must be used for scanning. I the list below correct? /usr/lib/sane/libsane-hpoj.so /usr/lib/sane/libsane-hpoj.so.1 /usr/lib/sane/libsane-hpoj.so.1.0 /usr/lib/libhpojip.so.0 /usr/lib/libhpojip.so.0.1 /usr/lib/libsane-hpoj.so /usr/lib/libsane-hpoj.so.1 /usr/lib/libsane-hpoj.so.1.0 I also found, googling for a while, that there must be libusb: in my system I found: /usr/bin/libusb-config /usr/lib/libusb.la /usr/lib/libusb.so /lib/libusb-0.1.so.4 /lib/libusb-0.1.so.4.4.0 /lib/libusb.la I thank your for any help. What I would like to find is a good tutorial or a howto. thanks! -- Guido Milanese Vocal Ensemble Ars Antiqua, Genova (Genoa), Italy http://www.arsantiqua.org
