To make scanning work, you need to connect the printer either via a network connection facility built into the printer, an original HP JetDirect network print box, or via USB. Connecting it via a third-party print box, like the print server facility of a router will not make the scanner available. In addition, you have to set up your print queue using HPLIP's "hp" backend. In system-config-printer (System -> Administration -> Printing) after clicking the "Add" button the add- printer wizard pops up. On its first page you select your printer on the left (if it is network-connected, you have to wait some time until the printer appears under "Network Printer"). On the right there must be written something like
HPLIP software driving a printer or the printer part of a multi-function device If this is not the case, click on "Connection" at the bottom and choose "HP Linux Imaging and Printing (HPLIP)". If this is also not possible, the printer is connected via an incompatible network device or HPLIP does not recognize it as a supported model. If you can set it up correctly, scanning should work immediately, Simply start xsane or simple-scan. To answer Naga's question abobe, please connect your printer with a USB cable. -- Needs to have HP C410a added https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/631028 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
