The update manager announced a new version 9.10 so muggins asked for it. I certainly did "ask for it"! Lots of things don't appear to be working but we'll start, please, with the scanner which I need to use "Now!", as it were.
It's one of those awful multifunction jobbies but the printer part is (sort of - A printed test page could only tell me that I was using the wrong driver.) working so XSane's inability to find the scanner is doubly curious. "sudo sane-find-scanner" didn't see it either.
Previously, with Ubuntu 9.04, XSane could use the scanner.
I've been trying to make sense of the various troubleshooting options in the "sane-usb" manual. Given time, I might eventually puzzle them out. Time is not currently a plentiful resource.
I tried installing HPLIP from HP. It hasn't made a difference.
Any suggestions?
