LinuxQuestions.org - Scanner not found SANE HPLIB HP Officejet 1170c

Hi,

I have reached a dead end with this problem. Followed advice from other threads, but I can't get this HP Officejet to scan. The user is in the scanner group and I have tried as root.

Here is the output from scanimage -L.

Code:

$ export SANE_DEBUG_DLL=128

$ scanimage -L

[sanei_debug] Setting debug level of dll to 128.

No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,

check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the

sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation

which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).

[dll] sane_exit: exiting

[dll] sane_exit: calling backend `hpaio's exit function

[dll] sane_exit: calling backend `geniusvp2's exit function

[dll] sane_exit: calling backend `epkowa's exit function

[dll] sane_exit: finished

tail -f /var/log/messages - gave me this error:

Code:

Apr 23 11:49:05 localhost python: hpssd [WARN] Inrecognized URI: parallel:/dev/lp0

but not sure if this is a red herring

The results from sane-find-scanner:

Code:

$ sudo sane-find-scanner

Password:



  # 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.



  # No USB scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that

  # you have loaded a kernel driver for your USB host controller and have setup

  # the USB system correctly. See man sane-usb for details.



  # Not checking for parallel port scanners.



  # Most Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports

  # can't be detected by this program.

As for sane config - /etc/sane.d/dll.conf contains hpaio the rest are commented out.

Oh one last thing dmesg

Code:

[4294684.092000] parport: PnPBIOS parport detected.

[4294684.092000] parport0: PC-style at 0x378 (0x778), irq 7, dma 0 [PCSPP,TRISTATE,COMPAT,EPP,ECP,DMA]

[4294684.431000] lp0: using parport0 (interrupt-driven).

Can anyone suggest a way forward here?

Many Thanks
