Driver HP PSC-1210 scanner/printer

Hello,

There is a page in the wiki with more information about HP all in one printers:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HpAllInOne

Thanks, I did install the driver but unfortunately the scanner still does not work. I also tried the script "sudo apt-get install libsane-extras" which I copied from the help manual in Ubuntu. But that also does not work.

Do you have maybe another solution/idea?
Of course it is NOT impossible that I am making mistakes somewhere.

Regards Jan.

You can install the sane-utils package and use this command:

sane-find-scanner -v

If your scanner is found you can use:

scanimage -L

to check it.

It is also possible that you are seeing this bug:

https://answers.launchpad.net/bugs/85488

Yes that worked and it is de same serial number as in the printer
setup/configuration under Ubuntu.

See the following:
jan@jan-desktop:~$ scanimage -L
device `hpaio:/usb/psc_1200_series?serial=CN418F21185H' is a
Hewlett-Packard psc_1200_series all-in-one
jan@jan-desktop:~$

However the scanner still doesn't work. Although with the printer NO
problem.
When I use the scanner software "Xsane" that software doesn't pickup the
device. Maybe I should try different scanner/fax software.

Why is HP not making a driver for that device? They know how the
internal/electronic configuration looks like.

Regards Jan.

I did look at the bug list but I think that is not applicable here.

What about to try about to load a window emulator and load the
printer/scanner driver into that emulator?

Have you checked this page:

http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-PSC_1210

Apparently its just enough to use HPLIP. The procedure given to you by Hanusz (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HpAllInOne) should work for you too.

You can't use windows drivers, even through an emulator, you would have to use the whole OS and the application.
You said that "sane-find-scanner -v" finds the scanner but that "scanimage -L" doesn't work. What error message are you getting?

Hi this is what I get:

jan@jan-desktop:~$ sane-find-scanner -v
This is sane-find-scanner from sane-backends 1.0.18

  # sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the
  # result is different from what you expected, first make sure your
  # scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer.

Can you try with a:

scanimage -v -T

command?
Also, can you try a simple scan with this command:

scanimage >test.pnm

jan@jan-desktop:~$ scanimage -v -T
scanimage: scanning image of size 638x877 pixels at 24 bits/pixel
scanimage: acquiring RGB frame, 8 bits/sample

jan@jan-desktop:~$
jan@jan-desktop:~$
jan@jan-desktop:~$ scanimage >test.pnm
jan@jan-desktop:~$ scanimage >test.pnm

With the last command the scanner light moves forward and back wards
without switching on.

This is a real pain.
On one end you get an I/O error from the frontend, on the other the backend seems to be working but again not fully. I guess there is nothing in test.pnm?
We can try to have a look at some of the configuration files; can you paste here the content of your /etc/sane.d/dll.conf file?

It was a project to find the directory, but here is what I think is the
content:

# /etc/sane.d/dll.conf - Configuration file for the SANE dynamic backend
loader
#
# On Debian systems, the dll backend will also look for pieces of
configuration
# in the /etc/sane.d/dll.d directory -- packages providing backends
should drop
# a config file similar to dll.conf in this directory.

That would be in the directory where you issued the scanimage >test.pnm command (most probably your home directory).
Can you add hpaio (just after hp) in the file /etc/sane.d/dll.conf and try again (you may have to restart the daemon with "sudo /etc/init.d/saned restart")?

Note that you have to edit dll.conf with superuser privileges to be able to modify it (use sudo or gksu).

Sorry for the delay but when I make the changes to that "dll.conf" file.
I get the message that I do not have the rights do that. I other words I
am not the "superuser" on the system although I gave myself the rights
as being the "root" user. How and where can I change that?

Rgrds Jan

n.b. I have the same problem with the virus software "ClamTk" that is
also telling me that I do NOT have the correct rights.

You shouldn't have any problem using sudo (or gksu). For instance:

sudo gedit /etc/sane.d/dll.conf

Hello,

Open a terminal and enter this command to be able to edit this file with root privileges:
gksu gedit /etc/sane.d/dll.conf

Hi, unfortunately the scanner still doesn't work. What is the next step
I must take?

Here is the dll.conf file you might need:

# /etc/sane.d/dll.conf - Configuration file for the SANE dynamic backend
loader
#
# On Debian systems, the dll backend will also look for pieces of
configuration
# in the /etc/sane.d/dll.d directory -- packages providing backends

I would try to set it up with the hplip toolbox (package hplip). Ususally HP printers and scanner get very well detected and configured with it.

I hope this helps.
