Scanner not recognized in Simple Scan

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – I have an HP L7680 Officejet Pro All-In-One. The printer is recognized on the network without difficulty. The scanner on the other hand is not recognized. Simple Scan under preferences just sees my web cam and that is all. The L7680 is on and I have rebooted a couple times without luck for it to be recognized. Any help appreciated!!! Thanks in advance, Brian (HowTos)

Stories similar to Scanner not recognized in Simple Scan

I recently installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS after not using any Linux distro for several years. My Canon MP280 worked perfectly as far as printing goes and I was even able to set it up on a Samba share and print from a Windows 7 machine.

However when I open Simple Scan it does not detect a scanner.

Hello,

I have a multifunction printer PIXMA MG2250 from which I successfully processed printer tasks, thanks to this forum, but still the scan is not recognized, not even detected by scangearmp even if I have installed some mp drivers of the MGseries range; Would somebody have an idea to fix this problem?

thanks in advance

I have a HP deskjet 3050 which is a printer/scanner. The printer was added to my network using a WPS pin through my router. The printer works fine, it is detected on my network and prints in Ubuntu12.04. However when I try to scan with Simple Scan (for example) I get a message "No scanner detected".

How to map network scanner 35 weeks 3 days ago

I have just bought a shiny new Canon MG6250 multifunction printer/scanner and connected it via LAN. Installing the printing side of things was a breeze, however, I cannot work out how to set up scanning.

I installed the MG6200 series ScanGear MP driver from Canon's site but when I open GIMP or Simple Scan, they say there is no scanner detected.

Hi, I'm using HP officejet 4500 g510. The printer works properly but when I try to scan (using simple-scan). It can't find the scanner. Thanks, Amir

PS I'm new with ubuntu (I'm using v12.04) and will appreciate detailed explanation about what I should perform.

Issue: I've a all-in-one printer (Lexmark x6675) directly connect it to my LAN network (with its corresponding ip).

I can not scan with Ubuntu 12.10.

I have a canon pixma mg5300 series printer/scanner. I am able to print with it, after I successfully added the driver (if I remember correctly, I had to install it from the constructor, though I'm not sure, it was quite some time ago). However, I don't know how to use the scanner. I tried typing 'scan' in the dash, and a application named 'simple scan' appeared.

Scanner is recognized right away. Works great using XSane as well as Simple Scan.
