C5180 ethernet imaging

Network support and scanning are supported.

Most likely you will want to install the latest release of hplip from http://hplip.sf.net.

Sometimes the distros will included hplip but remove parts of it. If you install the latest you will probably not have any problems. and if you should have problems the tools will be available for me to better troubleshoot the problem (ie hp-check)

Thanks for your support.

Hello Mr. Albright;

There is some information about my system that I failed to include in
the original request for assistance. The OS is Ubuntu 7.10 “Gutsy” 64
Bit, The kernel is 2.6.22-14-server, the processor is an Intel core 2
duo on an Intel 965 motherboard with 2G of memory and a great deal of
disk space.

Downloaded the self install version and got the following array of error
messages.

root@KFFL-5:/home/bobkil/Temp# sh hplip-2.7.12.run

*****************************************************************************************

I then attempted the manual install and received an even greater number
of messages.

By downloading and installing individual packages I was able to reduce
the number of errors. Here are some of the errors without all the
output of the run;

For step 2C, Install the required dependency packages;

Package libsnmp9-dev is a virtual package provided by:
  libsnmp-dev 5.3.1-6ubuntu2.1
You should explicitly select one to install.
E: Package libsnmp9-dev has no installation candidate

Step 4: Configure HPLIP for installation, The last 4 lines of output;

checking for pthread_create in -lpthread... yes
checking for pow in -lm... yes
checking for jpeg_set_defaults in -ljpeg... no
configure: error: "cannot find libjpeg support"

Step 5: Run Make

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
At this point I saw no reason to continue as nothing was made.
Thanks for your interest and assistance;

For Aaron Albright;

Thank you very much for your efforts, it is rare that I get a satisfactory solution so quickly. As an old time Unix system manager I have a habit of doing software maintenance as the super user, when I did the load as a regular user it worked a treat. From the output of the previous run I had loaded the libsnmp-dev module previously but attempted to do the install as root. The scanner now operates very well.

Once again Thank you;
bob

Great! I've committed the fix for both Gutsy and Hardy so this will be fixed for the next release.

Thanks for your support!
