Description Shane Kerr 2011-02-15 10:40:43 UTC 
Description of problem:

Some HP scanners, like my HP PSC 1410, need the libsane-hpaio package installed to scan properly.

These scanners can be detected without the libsane-hpaio package installed. "sane-find-scanner" reports:

[shane@shane-desktop ~]$ sane-find-scanner -1
found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0 [HP], product=0x4d11 [PSC 1400 series]) at libusb:003:003

However the 'simple scan' application (and scanimage -L) report "no scanner found".

It would be nice if something, somewhere automatically installed the proper drivers - or at least told the user that they need to do so.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

libsane-hpaio-3.10.9-14.fc14.i686
sane-backends-1.0.21-5.fc14.i686

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Plug in scanner
2. Run simple scan
3. 
  
Actual results:
"No scanner found"

Expected results:
Scanned document


Additional info:

I don't know what Ubuntu does exactly, but it works out of the box on that platform.
