no image out of XSane

Hi,

Please try steps mentioned in http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install/install/index.html.

Hi Sanjay,

Not doing well at all. I managed to get some stuff done in terminal,
but not all. No idea about the PGP key. This is all confusing to me.
 I was using Mint 17.1 Rosa with hplip gui before. All was very good.
 I ran a completely new installation with Mint 17.3 KDE. I am not so
comfortable with the KDE desktop, but I persisted and managed to
install the printer with hplip gui, but the scanner and fax are
nowhere to be found. I even went to the HP web site, to attempt a
remote scanner/fax install. No joy there either. I forget what their
message was. One dependency that seems to be missing is
hp-fax4-hpcups.ppd. I have downloaded hplip 3.15.11, but it's just
sitting in my Download folder, and terminal tells me that it cannot
open it. hplip upgrade in Konsole tells me that I have the latest
version, without mentioning it exactly. As for the .run file, it
beats me. What command line am I suppose to use in Konsole terminal
to install it?

As you can see Sanjay, I am not doing very good. At the moment, the
printer (OfficeJet Pro 8600-n911a) is working all right. For scans, I
just use a flash drive and walk it over to my laptop. Not ideal but
hey, it gets me by. I can always dream of my old Mint 17.1 Rosa
Mate/hplip setup. Oh well. I'm running a 3 year old Acer laptop with
an Intel core B940 processor.

Thanks Sanjay for any light that you can throw on my lantern.

Yes please I would like to keep the request alive, as I have not made
progress with that issue since.

Hi Gilles,

HPLIP with Mint 17.3 support was released 4 days back only (in version 3.16.2). Can you again try steps mentioned in http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install/install/index.html.

Once HPLIP-is installed (Step 1 - Step10), please open the terminal and run "xsane" command to perform scan operations. Your scanner will be detected automatically.

Thanks,
Sanjay
