Hi, I cannot use the scanner on my hp 6110 combination FACS, printer, scanner, copier. (The printer is fine, the copier is stand alone, and I don't use the FACS.) SANE produces the message "no device available". The help and documentation implies that the "backend" may not be installed. I cannot find the mentioned module sane-dll. I understand the idea that a "backend" is required, but I have no idea how to test/provide for same. I checked the hpoj web site but cannot determine which driver I ought to use, and there appears to be no mention of a 64 bit version. I am running SuSE 9.1 on AMD64. Thanks for any ideas. Regards, Colin

Check in /etc/sane.d. Edit it and uncomment the hpoj statement

After you have uncommented hpoj in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf, run as root ptal-init setup.
I checked the hpoj web site but cannot determine which driver I ought to use,
ptal, which is part of the hpofficejet package. Make sure it starts when you boot with the Run Level Editor. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Registered Linux user 231871
Anyone out there got this printer working? On linux printing org site, it refers to compiling some of the drivers in 64-bit. I am too new at this to figure it out alone. Any help is appreciated. Prior to my AMD64 I had it working in 32bit SuSE 9.2 so I know it is possible. I Googled all over the net and just cannot find the secrets to success.
