OK I think this can close: I'm not sure what level hplip has reached now in the repositories as I use Dapper only BUT
It appears hplip 1.6.12 has this fixed.....somehow I didn't catch this....it is a bit of work....as the desktop metapackage and ALL printing packages need to be removed but it can now be done. I now have ALL functions working in both pc and power pc anyone wishing a copy of my deb for ppc on dapper email me -- ppc only when using hpilp with hpaio scanning driver attempting to scan triggers the printer not the scanner . a sheet of paper is loaded and scanner is unavailable this seems to be a hardware layer problem (usb) https://launchpad.net/bugs/79105 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
