I have this scanner and want to install it.
It is compatible and I downloaded the driver from here:
http://www.sane-project.org/cgi-bin/driver.pl?manu=Hewlett+Packard&model=&bus=usb
Then I've been trying to follow the instructions from here:
http://www.meier-geinitz.de/sane/gt68xx-backend/
BUT even when I do the command
sudo su root
and enter my password and therefore should have admin rights, it either says I don't have permission to create the directory or says it already exists (?), when it clearly doesn't.
I can't put the .usb file where it needs to go and so can't install my scanner - has anyone got any ideas?
I've tried logging in as root after enabling the account, but it says the administrator can't login from this screen (the login screen).
I'm super confused and would really appreciate some help.
Thank you!
