http://ubuntuforums.org – 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. (Hardware)

How to map network scanner 31 weeks 2 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.

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.

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".

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 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

I decided to try the 64 bit version of 12.04 I have gone through the driver install procedures that have worked for the 32 bit OS but can't seem to find the reason why Xsane and Simple scan don't see my scanner. The scanner is a Brother MFC3220C. sane-find-scanner seems to find the device:

Code: paul@paul-P5K-SE:~$ sane-find-scanner

  # sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect

HP Officejet 4110 no scan 2 years 32 weeks ago

I'm a total noobie to Linux, #! is my first try at it, and I'm loving it. I have a HP Officejet 4110 which I can't get to scan. I've searched the forums and tried all the tips I could find that seemed like they might work, but no luck. Installed hplip, hpijs, cups, system-config-printer-common, and all show as newest version already installed.

I have a HP Office-Jet 6110 All-In-One for about 5 years now and I havve been using it on Suse and openSuse without a problem all these years. This morning I wanted to scan something and suddenly realised that the scanner is not working. I can print but not scan. i tried to set up the scanner using YaST like I have done for the past 5 years but it#s not working.
