[ubuntu] Scanner doesn't work

linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – Here's another thing, Ihave a HP officejet 4200 series-Hp psc 1310 series printer/scanner combo. The printer works fine. Unbuntu 12.4 does not recognize the scanner. I have inserted the driver disk but only the various files( 56 total ) are displayed. I don't have a clue as to how to use them. Is there a plugin I can download to get this particular Hp scanner to work with my Ubuntu 12.4](*,) (Hardware)

Stories similar to [ubuntu] Scanner doesn't work

Hello,

Ever since I switched to Ubuntu 12.04 the scanner on my Epson Stylus NX230 won't work. At the same time I started running lUbutntu because the regular version is too fancy for my crappy old computer. The scanner used to work when I had whatever version I had before, but now when I try to scan an image using either Scanner Utility or Simple Scan it says no scanner is connected.

How to map network scanner 31 weeks 4 hours 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.

Okay so I bought a Kodak all in one printer/scanner/copier and was able to get a driver for the printer to work, but not the scanner; so I kept my old hp 3-in-1 so I could scan and it was working great. Thing is I think when I tried installing sane from the git repository because it supposively would allow the Kodak scanner to work, now the hp scanner won't be detected.

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).

Scanner and Printer install 3 years 24 weeks ago

Hi, I have Fedora 12 installed on my computer and I'm trying to set up a printer and a scanner for my personal use. The printer is a Canon LBP 3200 and the scanner a Mustek 1200 UB Plus. Both are connected via USB. For the printer i managed to install a driver, but it will still not print. It only ejects blank pages. For the scanner i tried sane, but to no avail.

Hi

I'm having fun with an old printer and scanner. Whatever the problem is, it seems to manifest itself differently every time. Unfortunately I need to ask for help with the diagnosis as I am unfamiliar with linux.
