Are you sure that this is the name of your scanner?

It doesn't help to know that 98% of HP scanners are supported if your scanner is one of the 2%. In fact, if your scanner is actually a "PSC 2355" it should work with the hpaio backend. At least it says "PSC 2300 series" on its web site. > usb 4-2: usbfs: interface 1 claimed while 'scanimage' sets config #1 Use sane-backends 1.0.17 or newer. hpaio must also be built with this or a newer version to enable a work-around for this problem. Another work-around is to do "rmmod usblp". > SANE_DEBUG_HP=128 As the scanner is not supported by the hp backend this won't help. > [sanei_usb] sanei_usb_init: found libusb device (0x03f0/0x4911) interface 0 > at libusb:004:006 So it's there. > found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0 [HP], product=0x4911 [PSC 2350 series]) at > libusb:004:006 Ah, really a PSC. > I have modified the file /etc/sane.d/hp.dll by adding the following 3 lines: "hp.conf". This scanner is NOT supported by the hp backend but by hpaio. So fiddling with the hp backend won't help. > Does anyone one have any clues about this ? This printer is said to > have good SANE support The SANE website doesn't say this. In fact it points to the hpoj/hplip pages for reference. These are external backends so it's usually better to contact their authors directly. Bye, Henning
