Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: system-config-printer
When I install my HP multi-function OfficeJet 7310 under Intrepid/8.10 with
system-install-printer 1.0.5, the URI used for the printer is:
hp:/net/Officejet_7300_series?ip=THEPRINTER'SIPADDR
When I install the same printer under Karmic/9.10 with system-install-printer
1.1.12, the URI used for the printer is:
socket://THEPRINTERNAME:9100
Both of these URI's work from the point of view of printing. But, the
new socket-based URI does not work with XSane. So, XSane does not
recognize the mult-function printer as capable of scanning with the use
of the socket-based URI.
There may be reasons for this change of which I am not aware. But, for
me, it meant that I had to dig into the config of the printer to try to
figure out why things "just worked" in Intrepid(which is marvelous) and
now, under Karmic, they don't. I was lucky enough to recognize the
difference in the config and try the "hp" URI on Karmic. A printer
expert I am certainly not.
With a change to the "hp-based" URI, all is now working on Karmic. So,
there is certainly a work around.
