M175nw - scanner not detected

Asked by Bettina Ba

Dear all,

I'm trying to install my HP Laserjet 100 color M175nw for scanning. The printing is working by the way. But Xsane does not find the scanner/printer.

System is running on Linux Mint Cinnamon 19.2
Hplip 3.19.11

(Just fyi: I have another old Laptop installed with Ubuntu and did the workaround with scanning. And there it works. So there is no hardware problem on the printer or scanner.)

Anybody who can help me? PLEASE! I'm already sitting here crying.

This is free software, and you are welcome to distribute it
under certain conditions. See COPYING file for more details.

Note: hp-check can be run in three modes:
1. Compile-time check mode (-c or --compile): Use this mode before compiling the
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.
3. Both compile- and run-time check mode (-b or --both) (Default): This mode
will check both of the above cases (both compile- and run-time dependencies).

Check types:
a. EXTERNALDEP - External Dependencies
b. GENERALDEP - General Dependencies (required both at compile and run time)
c. COMPILEDEP - Compile time Dependencies
d. [All are run-time checks]

Hello Bettina,

Your hp-check output has

> Plugins are not installed. Could not access file: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden

'hp-plugin -i' is one way of doing installing a plugin.
