HPLIP Plugin

I have Hp LasserJet m1136 mfp. I could get printing but could not scan. I tried HPLIP Plugin but it is not working.

See http://www.hplipopensource.com/hplip...m1136_mfp.html for information on HPLIP support.

From that page:

Quote:

This printer REQUIRES a downloadable driver plug-in, which is required to enable print, fax or scan support. Use hp-setup to install the printer, and to download and install the plug-in. Driver plug-ins are released under a proprietary (non-open) license and are not part of the HPLIP tarball release.

You didn't say what distro you are using so the instructions may be a little different depending, but you should be able to find instructions there.

scanning is a lot different than printing

Xsane is normally used for scanning
most if not all image editors and album tools will use xsane and not the terminal based "hp-scan"
