HP Scanjet N6350 not detected on Ubuntu


Hi.

I have a network scanner HP Scanjet N6350 which works perfectly in Windows. I have been trying to make it work via network in Ubuntu for sometime now. The sane website does not have any support to the mentioned scanner.

Does anyone have any idea how to make it work under Linux ?

I have hplip, sane, xsane (version 0.998), cups installed on my Ubuntu 12.04.

Thanks,
Majalee

Sane doesn't list that device as supported, no shock, it takes time before linux drivers show up for new scanners. HP doesn't supply linux drivers either.

So, for now you can run it in windoze. I have a HP G4010 and waited over a year for the drivers. The linux driver only supports limited function of the scanner. My solution was to install v-box, install XP on v-box and install the printer in XP. This is better than having to dual boot. If you are in linux and want the scanner, I just fire up v-box, ( XP ) do what I need and copy the files using samba to linux. Saves booting. The interesting side effect is XP is faster running in v-box than as a stand alone system.

cliff. we are a group of people who would like to use the network scanner. i suppose we will have to install v-box on everyone's PC for using the scanner. doesn't look like a workable option. anyway.. thanks for your advice.
