HPLIP does not support HP scanjet devices.

The alternative is to use sane, however it appears that this device is currently not supported by sane.

Since I am new to Liniux,I don't enjoy a real understanding yet about hardware,drivers,etc running the Linus kernal.

Any suggestions on scanners and OCR programs ?

If you're looking for an HP solution be sure to check the supported products page first.

http://hplip.sourceforge.net/supported_devices/index.html

Other than that I would do a google and see if there are some ORC/products to meet your needs.

Can you help with this problem?
