no scan with HP Leserjet Pro m28a MFP / HPLIP - print is OK

Hi ,

Have you installed plugin to scan?

And on which distro ?

hi,

I tried with AND without hplip-plugin (3.20.6), same result : print is OK, scan is not OK : failed: Error during device I/O
I tried on ubuntu 20.04 fress install ant xubuntu 17 (quite old system but apt upgrade ok)

the most disturbing is, in addition with the fact that print is ok, te result of hp-scan :

Hello Bertrand,

Please confirm that you are using Ubuntu 20.04 and provide information
from

  systemctl list-units "ippusbxd*" | grep service
  avahi-browse -rt _ipp._tcp
  avahi-browse -rt _uscan._tcp
  lpstat -l -e

What happens when you execute

  simple-scan escl:http://127.0.0.1:60000 ?

Cheers,

Brian.

hi

thanks for your message
host is called "bj-boite", static IP : 192.10.1.100
printer is called "laser". It prints like a charm but doesn't scan.

That's ok. Ubuntu 20.04 installs ippusbxd and runs it when the device is plugged in.
Please see the IPP-over-USB sections at

  https://wiki.debian.org/CUPSDriverlessPrinting

(ipp-usb does the same job as ippusbxd).

Getting an output from 'avahi-browse -rt _uscan._tcp' indicates that the device
supports the eSCL protocol. The SANE escl backend (driver) should be able to do
scanning. It hasn't. This is likely a bug in the SANE backend. You have been unlucky.

Download and install sane-airscan from

  https://github.com/alexpevzner/sane-airscan

The direct link to the file is

   https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/pzz/xUbuntu_20.04/amd64/

I would be interested in what you get for

  scanimage -L

hello,
the HP m28a is not air / wifi device, it's only usb.

installed sane-airscan =>

thanks

> the HP m28a is not air / wifi device, it's only usb.

Yes, I understand that and am perplexed that sane-airscan is not
working when you have ippusbxd running. ippusbxd basically turns
the m28a into a network scanner and sane-airscan now work with it.

This is the first time I have known sane-airscan to fail. Note that it
recognises and identifies the scanner. I have no more software to
recommend. Thanks for trying it.

If you removed ippusbxd from the system (it is easily put back) then
surely the hpaio device (with a plugin) should work? I do not know
what will happen with printing should you remove ippusbxd.

It turns out that I have met the m28a before:

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hplip/+bug/1811504

It was troublesome then!

Cheers,

Brian.

Please could we have:

  lpstat -t

and

  lpinfo -v ?

I did

- run "service cups restart" (airscan-discover did not detect the printer before that)

=> I guess I now have to set up airscan !

thanks a lot

> progress !

Good, but still not scanning? I would test using

  scanimage -d "airscan:e0:HP LaserJet MFP M28-M31" > image.pnm

If it were me, I would purge ippusbxd and download and install ipp-usb from
the same place you got sane-airscan.

> => I guess I now have to set up airscan !

sane-airscan doesn't need any setting up - it should just work.

My tentative view is that this M28a device is not up to the job of scanning
with a modern protocol. If you have more progress or further thoughts, please
let us know.

Good luck,

Brian.

Is this the plugin that

  https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing/supported_devices/index

says is not needed for the HP LaserJet Pro MFP M28a?

Or is it the one that models.dat says is unnecessary?

  plugin=0
  plugin-reason=0

You have known about this for 1.5 years. Isn't it about time to do something about it
instead of drifting along?

Also, do you have a M28a to use? Does scanning work? That's a nice simple question
to answer.

Brian.

Hi !

I can use the scanner from now.

hplip 3.20.6 installed from hp .run
no plugin (models.dat => plugin=0 ; plugin-reason=0)

the scan won't be detected unless I unplugg/plugg it after rebooting.

airscan sane is the only way to use this MFP hp m28a, as mentionned in the post proposed by Brian (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hplip/+bug/1811504)

Thanks to all
Thank you so much Brian !

cheers
