Description of problem: When simple-scan is activated, it does not identify my HP Deskjet F4180, despite the necessary driver(s) and dependencies having just been installed Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): F14 Beta RC3 liveCD gnome desktop How reproducible: reasonably so? Steps to Reproduce: 1. connect and turn on HP Deskjet F4180 2. allow system to install requisite 3. under gnome desktop, launch simple-scan Actual results: simple-scan gave an error message indicating that no scanner was found, or that perhaps it wasn't turned on. Expected results: The scanner should have been identified and simple-scan should have worked so that I could do a simple test scan Additional info: A suggestion on "Discussions about development for the Fedora desktop <desktop@lists.fedoraproject.org>" was to install the package libsane-hpaio
In "steps to reproduce" #2 should read "allow system to install requisite drivers and dependencies"
Did you try installing libsane-hpaio yet? Did that solve the problem? -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
Hi Adam YES I just installed libsane-hpaio. NO it did NOT solve the problem.
For what it's worth, I just installed xSane, and it doesn't detect any scanners either. I did the following: yum install xsane (successful) xsane didn't detect any scanner, so I did the following two installs: yum install sane (successful) yum install sane* (successful) after each installation xsane still said that it didn't detect any devices. Just to satisty myself I tried simple-scan too, and in each case it didn't detect any devices either. Here's a resource page on the subject, dated from January 2010: http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Fedora/2010-01/msg01648.html In any case, I've had no difficulties at all with the scanner on my full install of Fedora 12 since the beginning. I'm going to play with a couple of other options to see what's happening.
I just repeated the above process with the F9 liveCD, and the result was the same. According to my standard installation notes, For F12 all I did was install xSane, and I have always been able to use the scanner.
I just installed Fedora 14 Beta rc3 gnome desktop on another machine from the DVD. I plugged in the same printer to the machine. The new machine recognized the printer, found the appropriate drivers, and installed them. I launched simple-scan from the "Applications/Graphics" menu. It immediately recognized the scanner and immediately performed a test scan at my request.
