Simple Scan - Not Working

[VinDSL]

Guess this says it all...

Simple Scan worked last week in Ubu 13.04, but evidently recent updates killed it.

Works fine in Ubu 10.10 -- same machine, same hardware.

Anybody else having issues with Simple Scan in RR?!?!?

Just checked mine and it worked fine. HP Photosmart d110 connected wirelessly.

did you try xsane ?

Just installed/tried xsane. No dice.

scanning for devices

no devices available

Must be a USB issue. OS sees it, but apps don't recognize it...

or perhaps a driver issue , I'll see if rr finds my brother mfc 7860 .

sometimes an update will revert you HPLIP version back to one that does not work with your printer. See this for more info,

I'm using a stand-alone, flatbed, HP scanner. Does it use printer drivers

EDIT

Just answered my own question. LoL!

HP Linux Imaging and Printing
Print, Scan and Fax Drivers for Linux

I'll check that out. Thanks!


For giggles, I installed Liquorix 3.6.0-7

vindsl@Zuul:~$ uname -sr
Linux 3.6.0-7.dmz.1-liquorix-686

Same thing, so it isn't a Linux 3.7-rc6 issue...

Commit log shows (my current) HPLIP package was last updated on "Sun Oct 14 16:20:39 2012", so...

I *think* it's okay.

Worked ok with my HP-C4180.

It's really slow at 1200dpi .. but I think that is the scanner itself.
