Hi,

Did you find any error before step 5 (i.e. in ./configure ... command).?

Thanks & Regards,

Hello Amarnath,

tx for writing.
I detect one error (complete output of configure below):

configure: error: "cannot find libjpeg support"

Hi Amarnath,

following install.doc of libjpeg ends in:

bibi@linux-khuy:~/bin/jpeg-6b> ./configure
bash: ./configure: /bin/sh^M: bad interpreter: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden

greetings
micca

ps.
1) downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/projects/libjpeg/files/latest/download?source=files
2) unzipped
3) ./configure

Hi,

from above information, I think system is not set correctly.. (either it is fast or slow.. I didn't understand correctly since it is German language).
And libjpeg is missing.

Please correct system time.
Please install hplip as mentioned in this link @http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install/install/index.html

Thanks & Regards,
Amarnath

Only out of curiosity:

Why do you "want to install hplip-3.12.11"?

Only FYI:

I don't know what "SLED 11.2" is - perhaps you mean SLED11-SP2.

In this case I like to mention that I provide HPLIP 3.12.11
via the openSUSE build service development project "Printing"
also for SLE11-SP2 for 32-bit i586 and 64-bit x86_64 from
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Printing/

See
https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=Printing
and
https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:How_to_set-up_a_HP_printer

Hello Johannes,

I use a HP 655 (SLED11-SP2 preinstalled) and a wireless printer HP Officejet 6700 premium aio.
With our other windows-notebook installing and using the printer was easy (printing wireless, scanning and sending wireless the scan to the notebook...).

I want to use this functions also with the linux-notebook. Wireless printing I can use now ....
Very mysterious: Now the printer (after one printing session) is the right type (O.jet 6700, previously this type for driver selection was not displayed).
But with all the installing and install abortions I do not know, what caused the change.

Still I want to use the function to scan a document and send it wireless to the linux notebook.

thanks for help
greetings

Regarding "scan a document and send it wireless to the linux notebook":

If you mean to initiate the scan on the device
so that the device (Officejet 6700) sends the
scan image to the SLED11-SP2 PC, see
http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/models/officejet/officejet_6700.html
that reads:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Scan to PC Yes See note3.
...
3 Scan supported means that PC initiated scan
  using a SANE compatible software application
  is supported over parallel, USB, or network
  (depending on I/O connection). Information
  on digital sending products is covered
  in note 9, below.
...
9 Device supports digital sending, not standard
  scanning protocols. See this KB article
  http://hplipopensource.com/node/302
  for more info.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
and
http://hplipopensource.com/node/302
reads
---------------------------------------------------------------------
How to scan with products that use
Digital Sending Technology
...
HPLIP software is not used in support of scanning
on certain multifunction products (MFP's), some
of which are listed below. These products which
use HP Digital Sending Technology allow scanning
directly to email addresses, network folders, or
other networked devices.

These MFP's do not support the SANE or TWAIN
APIs, so HPLIP which provides SANE support is
not needed for these devices.
...
An MFP that supports Digital Sending
has "DS" noted in its Scan column on the
Supported Products/Models page
...
Below link provides the steps for configuring
digital filing: Configure Digital Filing
http://hplipopensource.com/node/334
---------------------------------------------------------------------
and finally
http://hplipopensource.com/node/334
would provide how to "Configure Digital Filing"

But according to
http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/models/officejet/officejet_6700.html
the HP Officejet 6700 Premium E-all-in-one printer-h711n
does not have "DS" noted in its Scan column
so that from my point of view, it seems
"scan a document and send it wireless to the linux notebook"
i.e. do "Digital Sending" is not supported for your device.

But I am not a sufficient expert to make a final statement
regarding "Digital Sending".

Or do you actually mean to do a PC initiated scan
using a SANE compatible software application
(e.g. xsane) on the SLED11-SP2 system to acquire
a scan image from the HP Officejet 6700?

Hello Johannes,

my first guess is: digital sending is not the description for what I need.

in note 3:
"3 ... PC initiated scan using a SANE ... or network (depending on I/O connection)..."

my second guess is:
network means also wireless network

My printer is fully supported (http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/models/officejet/officejet_6700.html#note3),
but my third guess is:
I am far from the point to install anything, that has no proper (automatic) functional install mechanism.
If I try to install A. Than encounter that B is needed (although or not on the machine), than trying to bring B alive. But that stops too cause the need of C...
That are too many construction sites. So I got calibre and vlc-player to function. I can print. And must live with the programs provided from the installing team.

It is not a lack of will. I really want to make progress to learn more about linux, but the information is too diverse, too scattered and too specific to get an impression and some ability to do fundamental things...
Even the book "OpenSUSE 11.0 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Bible" is no real help.
I will start with "The Linux Command Line A Complete Introduction" with the song "It’s a Long Way to Tipperary" in mind.

So if you have no idea, than I would close the thread at that point.

thank you very much

Hi,

Currently scan can be done in followings ways.

1) PC initiated scan
--> scanning should be initiated from PC (i.e. by using hp-scan or xsane or simplescan etc applications).
--> document will be scanned and stored to PC.
--> this will work for Wireless, Ethernet and USB.

--> this is supported by HPLIP drivers.

2) Device initiated scan (or) scan to PC
--> Go to the device and enter IP address of PC and start scan from the printer device.
--> document will be stored to the PC.

--> unfortunately, this is not supported by HPLIP drivers.

Please let us know if you need more information.

Thanks & Regards,
Amarnath
