The YaST scanner config help text reads: -------------------------------------------------------------------- Network scanners cannot be configured with this tool. These devices must be configured manually. A network scanner is a scanner that has a network interface so it is directly accessible in the network. In contrast, scanning via network means accessing a remote scanner connected to another host in the network. .. If you press <b>Other</b>, you can ... set up scanning via network. -------------------------------------------------------------------- To set up a scanner in a HP all-in-one device, first set up a print queue for the device with the CUPS backend "hp" (best run "hp-setup" as root to do this). Then activate the "hpaio" driver in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf (i.e. uncomment the "hpaio" line in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf) you can do this by manually selecting any HP all-in-one device in the YaST sacnner config. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=310476#c5 --- Comment #5 from Johannes Meixner 2007-09-19 08:41:34 MST --- hp-setup doesn't activate the "hpaio" line in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf. I assume it was already activated by your previous attempts with YaST. There is a pending feature request at the HPLIP project, that hp-setup should care about the "hpaio" line in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Changed texts won't be translated now and then the whole text would be shown always only in English regardless of the actual language setting. For openSUSE 11.0 I will care about HP all-in-one network scanners in yast2-scanner - at least by providing useful help texts. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Those devices are now autodetected at the USB and if there is already a CUPS queue (the latter in particular for network HP all-in-one devices which do not work without a CUPS queue) and additionally hp-setup can be launched. When hp-setup is launched from the YaST scanner config, the scanner config waits until hp-setup is finished, then it restarts the scanner autodetection to show the current state (after hp-setup was run). Therefore to set up a HP all-in-one network device on a new installed openSUSE 11.0 system, you can start with the YaST scanner config which would not autodetect it because there is no CUPS queue but you can run hp-setup from the YaST scanner config to set up the CUPS queue with hp-setup and finish it which triggers the YaST scanner autodetection again which would now find the HP all-in-one network device so that you can proceed with the YaST scanner config. FYI: Of course "hp-probe -bnet -escan" would autodetect HP all-in-one network devices with a scanner unit but - it scans the network which cannot be done without asking for user confirmation (i.e. it cannot be done automatically e.g. during startup of the scanner config), - the scanner setup of HP all-in-on network devices is useless unless there is a CUPS queue so that "hp-setup" + "hp-probe -bcups -escan" is better for HP all-in-one network devices. For HP all-in-one USB devices "hp-probe -busb -escan" is used. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
