HP All-In-One Scanner Issues

Hey Archers,

I have an HP Photosmart C5280 All-In-One Printer/Scanner/Copier, and I need to get it working with Arch. I am not a newbie, I have been using Linux for years now, and I have consulted the Wiki and the HP support page since they provide crude Linux support.

Basically when I run sane-find-scanner I get this:

  # sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the
  # result is different from what you expected, first make sure your
  # scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer.

  # No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that
  # you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.

found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0 [HP], product=0x5d11 [Photosmart C5200 series]) at libusb:002:003
  # Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by
  # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.
  # Not checking for parallel port scanners.

  # Most Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports
  # can't be detected by this program.

  # You may want to run this program as root to find all devices. Once you
  # found the scanner devices, be sure to adjust access permissions as
  # necessary.

but as soon as I run xsane or scanimage -L I get

no devices detected

I am a member of the scanner group and the same thing happens as root. hplip is installed and printing works fine through CUPS.

Suggestions? Thanks,

Mitch

Have you consulted the hplip page : http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/su … smart.html ?
This machine seems very well supported.

Post your /etc/sane.d/dll.conf.
hplip does tell you to append 'hpaio' if you want to use it with sane, you know. Assuming you read the install output, which you should.

Re: HP All-In-One Scanner Issues

Well, I fixed the problem, and thanks to Peasantoid for pointing out the config file to me. I had modified it already, but somehow marked it as unreadable and unwritable to everyone but root... my own stupid mistake. But, problem solved.

Thanks again guys,

Mitch

?
It *should* be *unwritable* to everyone except root, whereas everyone should be able to *read* it.

If that was what you meant, never mind.

i.e. The mode should be 0644 (rw-r--r--).
