So far as I can determine, there is no reason to avoid uscanner in the kernel --- uscanner does not/should not grab the scanner function of your all-in-one. It should then be possible to attach your single function scanner with sane --- although it is sensible to get hplip up without that complication first. > 3.

Is the printer ready (accepting jobs) according to cups admin? if your failed test pages are showing up in the job queue, it may be desirable to kill some of them in case you do something that does make it work. > Any help is appreciated. Thanks. That's all I can think of off the top of my head. -- Lars Eighner http://www.larseighner.com/index.html 8800 N IH35 APT 1191 AUSTIN TX 78753-5266
