Officejet 4500 : configuring the button of the printer

Xeratul · 03-30-2011, 10:04 PM

Hello,

I would like to configure the button of my printer officejet 4500. However I do not manage to use scanbuttond daemon. How to test key pressing? It seems that nothing is seen by scanbuttond ... when I manually press a key on the printer.

Code:

$ dpkg -l | grep scan
ii  gawk                                 1:3.1.7.dfsg-5                  GNU awk, a pattern scanning and processing language
ii  libsane                              1.0.21-9                        API library for scanners
ii  libsane-extras                       1.0.21.2                        API library for scanners -- extra backends
ii  libwine-sane                         1.0.1-3.1                       Windows API implementation - scanner module
ii  libzbar0                             0.10+doc-4                      bar code scanner and decoder (library)
ii  mawk                                 1.3.3-15                        a pattern scanning and text processing language
ii  sane                                 1.0.14-9                        scanner graphical frontends
ii  sane-utils                           1.0.21-9                        API library for scanners -- utilities
ii  scanbuttond                          0.2.3.cvs20090713-2             Scanner button daemon
ii  testdisk                             6.11-1+b1                       Partition scanner and disk recovery tool

I have an HP printer/scanner. In Linux I have to start the scan by using the software on the computer.
