XSANE configuration; not getting the full scan
Greeting.
I'm sure this is way outside the scope of BL questions but I'm not sure where else to go. In BL 4.5 I somehow got XSANE without doing anything on purpose about it, so I don't know if it was part of the BL disk or came with HPLIP. When I installed BL 5.0 I installed CUPS and then ran apt install --reinstall hplip and then hp-setup -i (before, I ran the HPLIP download that I had gotten from HP). I just accepted all the defaults and the printer works fine. There was no XSANE so I installed it (apt install xsane) and it sort of works but I only get the first inch or so of a 8.5x11 scan. I couldn't find any parameters in the XSANE menus that did anything. Any chance anyone knows how to make this work? |
Which model HP device are you using? Does using 'hp-scan' result in a proper scan?
What is reported by the following? Code:
export SANE_DEBUG_DLL=128 |
@ferrari,
Thanks for responding. I have an HP Desk Jet 2132. I don't know what "hp-scan" is. Is that something I have simply by virtue of hplip? How do I use/invoke it? I'll check out the result of the command sequence you posted, but it's really hot in the office now so I'm going to wait until it cools off:) Thanks again. |

@ferrari,
Indeed, hp-scan results in a proper scan. I need to study the parameters to use it better but that's great. Thanks. As for export SANE_DEBUG_DLL=128 scanimage -L there's too much output to post here. What am I looking for specifically? |

I'm wondering if the wrong SANE backend was being used here. Check for uncommented scanner backends in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf |
