I can't install my HP scanjet 3530c scanner on my PC. I run Mandrake 10.0

Anyone knows where I can find the drivers?

Please help!!!

some googling told me that the 3530c and the 3300 are basically the same scanner, so this may help

http://sourceforge.net/projects/hp3300backend/

no warranty ;-)
good luck.

Ehmmm... I downloaded the file and unpacked it... but I don't know what to to do now... Please help!!!

is there a readme or install instruction file? what does it say?

I followed the instuction and tried to compile the test program using "make"
But I get a list of errors and I can't figure what is going on...

I have also big problem with the modem/router... I am forced to connect it to the PC using USB but the system doesn't recognize it... Even I can't connect to the server http://10.0.0.2 which is used to configure the ADSL connection... Thank God it works perfectly on Windows but I continuesly have to change OS by restarting my laptop...

could you post the instructions, and the errors?

These are the instruction from the file INSTALL
--------------------------------------------------------------

This bundle supplies a sane-patch and a simple testtool
to test the basic functions of your NIASH flatbed scanner

Models are:
HP ScanJet 3300c, 3400c, 4300c
Agfa Snapscan Touch

--------------- PRE-REQUISITES --------------------------------

before trying to make your scanner work, call:
$ less /proc/bus/usb/devices
("q" will exit, cursor up and down will scroll)

if your scanning device is not listed by name, you probably
have a 3400C or 4300C and difficulties with the kernel-usb.
The forum will give you information, how to change the
kernel code, to make your scanner work.

--------------- THE TEST TOOL ----------------------------------

to compile the testtool type:
$ make

to invoke it:
$ ./testtool

The testtool will exclusively use "libusb"
(take care that libusb is installed),
because the "scanner" module is deprecated in the 2.6-kernels.

If your system is complaining about not being able to
access the USB port "ERROR: usb_claim_interface failed"
make sure, that the scanner kernel-module is not loaded
(when using older kernels). If
$ /sbin/lsmod | grep scanner
shows "scanner ...." unload the module by
$ sudo /sbin/rmmod scanner
followed by the root-password

if you still don't have access to the USB port, make sure that
your "/proc/bus/usb" interfaces have write access rights for everybody.
Grant write access rights by:
$ sudo chmod a+rw -R /proc/bus/usb/00*
followed by the root-password

if you still have problems, please check the cables!

--------------- SANE -------------------------------------------

To make your scanner system wide available,
you will need to "patch" SANE (http:/sane-project.org)

to patch the sane backends
get the latest sane-backend-sources from http:/sane-project.org,
unpack them and call:

$ ./patch-sane.sh /path/to/the/sane/sources/sane-backends-1.0.XX
$ cd /path/to/the/sane/sources/sane-backends-1.0.XX
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr # can be different on various systems
$ make
$ sudo make install
followed by the root-password

NOTE:
when you already have a sane-version installed on your system,
the correct --prefix can be retrieved by analizing the output of
$ ls -l `which scanimage`
Strip away everything from the output starting with "/bin/scanimage".
It might be a good idea to uninstall the older sane version first.

Have fun
