deskjet 2050 all-in-one doesnt scan on linux
Hello HPLIP,
I have bought a deskjet 2050 (j510) all-in-one printer/
and connected it to my IBM pentium 4 computer running Debian 6.0.2 (i.e. current stable).
The deskjet copies well,
it prints well (all i needed to do was click the 'print' button of my browser and it worked),
but i have not (yet) succeeded in making it scan.
Your HPLIP website mentions that
this model is "fully" supported, and that
"full" support includes scanning support for "compatible" printers ;
I hope this does not mean that
scanning with this machine from linux is not intended to be supported ?
If scanning is supported, i would like to know how to make that work .
I append the questions your website asks for, with their answers :
1. Your Linux Distribution and version.
Debian 6.0.2
Linux 5350CF84 2.6.32-5-686 #1 SMP Fri Sep 9 20:51:05 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux
2. Your printer make/model.
According to the manual it is
HP Deskjet All-in-One J510 series
According to 'sane-find-scanner' :
found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0 [HP], product=0x8711 [Deskjet 2050 J510 series])
at libusb:001:004
According to hp-check -t
hp:/
3. If possible, run 'hp-check -t' and post the output.
Output is large, so i put it at the end.
I ran that as root.
(I also ran it as a normal user, with -r option, and it's conclusion was that there was no problem)
4. A detailed explanation of your problem.
how do i get it to scan ?
5. Steps to recreate the problem.
a) buy this printer
b) connect it to a linux box
c) try to scan with it
3. If possible, run 'hp-check -t' and post the output.

Note: hp-check can be run in three modes:
1. Compile-time check mode (-c or --compile): Use this mode before compiling the
HPLIP supplied tarball (.tar.gz or .run) to determine if the proper dependencies are
installed to successfully compile HPLIP.
2. Run-time check mode (-r or --run): Use this mode to determine if a distro
supplied package (.deb, .rpm, etc) or an already built HPLIP supplied tarball has
the proper dependencies installed to successfully run.
3. Both compile- and run-time check mode (-b or --both) (Default): This mode will
check both of the above cases (both compile- and run-time dependencies).
