[opensuse] printer paused after using xsane
openSUSE 10.3, up to date with patches. HP LaserJet 3300 all-in-one. Has anyone else come across the problem of xsane disabling the printer after using the scanner of an all-in-one device? I don't recall this happening with 10.0 which was installed previously. Perhaps this is the new default for printer/scanner devices?

Are you sure it is xsane? Are you using hplip? version? I remember several folks having a problem with the cups-autoconf program disabling the printer due to a setting. I have a different device (Officejet 5610), and scanning (I use Kooka) works fine. I doubt scanning is the problem. If you are able to use the scanner, then permissions should be setup correctly. My guess is cups-autoconf. IIRC, it was set to disable if it failed to autoconf or something, which could be set to not do that.

OK, to be a little more precise. Printer and scanner both work fine. But, after using the xsane program to scan something I have to use cupsenable in order to print again. And yes the backend is hplip. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Assuming it does not only happen with xsane (which if it does, you should probably file a bug against xsane), check https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=334166 and see if this fix affects it, or uninstall cups-autoconfig.

Thanks Joe for the tip. This did change the status of the printer after using the scanner. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
