@Piedro Hi. I'm fairly sure I uninstalled ALL versions of hplip, then installed only the version in the repos - not the website version.
I used gdebi (if you've not got it, get it from the repos - it is a far quicker way of installing .debs) to install Andrea's .deb. It pointed out that I was RE-installing that package, but let me do so without further complaint. Since it bears the same version number as the one in the repos, I have had no problems updating etc. I wonder if you are still using the website version of hplip (3.12.10a)? If so, Andrea's version of libsane-hpaio (3.12.6) would appear to the package manager as an outdated version, and could be the cause of the errors. I'm not an expert, but if I have figured it out correctly, I hope it helps you :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1069898 Title: regression: cannot open network scanner with error "unable to read device-id ret=-1" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/1069898/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
