Hi all, Im far from an expert at this but my HP5300c scanner failed to work after upgrading to 14.04 from 12.04 and this is how I got it working: edit file /etc/default/saned as root (after making a backup).
change the line # Set to yes to start saned RUN=no to RUN=yes change the line RUN_AS_USER=saned to RUN_AS_USER=<yourusername> substitute yourusername for your login name after the next reboot scanner worked perfectly although sane-find-scanner still finds no scanner, for whatever reason. There may be some security problem with this approach, maybe someone can give advice in this area? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1080787 Title: hp scanner 5300c does no longer work after upgrading to quantal To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sane-backends/+bug/1080787/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
