'v41:/dev/video0'
I run Fedora 10 and use HP MFC 7580 networked via a router. It prints well but will not scan - just states a failure notice and states invalid argument.
xsane does not recognise it. Any ideas? |
I've never networked a printer, but my question is: does the printer scan regularly when not networked.

Scanner Problem
Quote:
The MFC isan HP Officejet Pro L7580 and the driver used is Foomatic/hpijs. The device URI is "socket://192.168.0.4:9100" and it is connected to my PC by the usual ethernet cable. Printing, Faxing, Copying is fine. But the device in scanning mode is not recognised. It worked fine when I used Mandriva Spring 2008. So I presume there is something different between Mandriva and Fedora 10. Under Mandriva the URI was different, being:- hp:/net/officejet_pro_L7500?ip=192.168.0.4 Does this help ? Mark |

Same issue, Fedora 9 and HP OfficeJet 7210
I am receiving the same error message as Mark Myatt, attempting to scan with my HP OfficeJet 7210. I installed the HP Device Manager from hplip (which I had not needed for printing), and this changed the xsane error from identifying "v4l:/dev/video0" as the invalid argument to identifying "hpaio:/net/HP_OfficeJet_7200_series?ip=172.16.90.98" as the invalid argument. Running xsane without invoking it from the HP Device Manager still produces the original "video0" version of the error. It doesn't seem to be a permissions problem, as running sudo /usr/bin/hp-toolbox and then invoking xsane using the "scan . . ." button produces the very same result - preceded by a warning that it is a bad idea to run xsane as root. Any troubleshooting ideas would be much appreciated.
