HP Laserjet M1522nf Linux Driver

Asked by JQ

Hi all,
I have a HP Laserjet M1522nf with network. I have install the HP driver version 3.12.11 but after installation, I am not able to use the scanning function of the printer. When I type dpkg -l hplip,

When I check on my Software Manager in Linux Mint 14(64bits), the latest version is only 3.12.6-3ubuntu4. After installing the version in my Software Manager, scanning support work. As there 2 different version, may I know which one should I stay on? For version 3.12.11 scanning support is not working but version 3.12.6, scanning support. Is there any way to make scanning support in version 3.12.11? Here is the output from hp-check -t

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.

Hi,

Seems like In Linux mint 14 64 bit symlink between /usr/lib and /usr/lib64 is missing or changed.

We will fix this issue in next HPILIP release meanwhile please make following changes from scan functionality.
1) copy libsane-hpaio files into /usr/lib/sane folder
   $ sudo cp /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-hpaio* /usr/lib/sane

2) start scan functionality
   $ xsane

Thanks & Regards,
Amarnath

Hi Amarnath,
I will wait for the next version of as the latest version 3.10.11 has not include support for Linux Mint 14. I am afraid of breaking the a workable system which I have spent most of my time getting it to work. A straightforward installation with clear instruction is a better solution.

Thanks
