[SOLVED] SANE-DLL problem ?

[gusteman]

Hi there, Community,
I recently installed a new printer HP Deskjet F4180 All-In-One. First of all I couldn't get it running, but after upgrading from Feisty to Gutsy that problem was solved. Except for the scanner. SANE doesn't seem to recognize it, anyway I can't find the libsane-dll.a file in the SANE directory. And it should be there according to man sane-dll. Any suggestions :confused: Thanks a lot :)

Have you installed the HP print driver?

http://hplip.sourceforge.net/downloads.html

After installing this driver all functions of my hp all-in-one printer/scanner/fax worked without any other mods.

Hope this helps.....

@ BMAC
Thanks a lot for the link and the suggestion. As it did for you, it worked for me!!!
I must say that I tried this solution under Feisty but there it did not work. So I upgraded to Gutsy and I found that HPLIP was embedded in Gutsy so I did not try out this solution. Well, now it looks like I should have.
Anyway, once again thanks for the support.
I have learned another lesson: if at first you don't succeed, try, try, try again!

Glad you got it working.

Don't feel bad as I did the exact same thing.... Finally, figured I'd try the new version from Source Forge and it worked...

Good Luck..
