Hi, Johan.  0.7 was released recently, but I don't think it will fix any of
the problems you raised:

This is a known problem with the low-level drivers (ieee12844.o).
For now the workaround is to kill xojpanel before printing.

Scanning is not yet supported with the model you have, but it's on my
to-do list.

Hi, Johan.  Please try version 0.7, which was released a few weeks ago.
It has a much nicer version of xojpanel (thanks to Joe Piolunek) which
fixes the problem you described.

I've started working again on an 'xojpanel replacement' that should be much 
more functional. 

An earlier version that I had put together just got too big and complicated, 
so I started over from scratch. The newer version looks a lot better, I think.
It may still be too early to decide exactly how the application should look 
or what it should contain, but the more thought put into it in the beginning, 
the better, IMHO.

I have the application building into a new directory under hpoj-0.7/apps/. 
It's a little too early to make the code available. There isn't much of it 
yet.

On my site are screenshots of the two windows created so far. These are 
'previews' created by the Qt designer.

The web server has been a little messed up, so if you don't see a page with 
OfficeJet GUI screenshots, try again later.

http://pages.cthome.net/jsp/hpoj-linux-gui/index.html

Is it worth continuing in this direction? Let me know what you think.


Johan:

If you keep looking, you may still find things in the project you can fix.

Scanning is working just fine with HP OfficeJets at least the G85
(flatbed) when using hpoj 0.7 and sane 1.04, no patch is needed. Recently
I sent some RPMs for SuSE-7.0, I have later discovered some dep-errs in
the packages, but using --nodeps should do it. I expect to contribute the
new ones, I have also done it for sane 1.0.4

Please remind me to mail them in a couple of days if I forget.

Jarl:

RPM's and SRPM's sometimes are a pretty big download. It would be better IMO, 
to put any large files on a web page or ftp site (if you have one) for public 
download, and then announce it in the list. It would mean less work for 
sourceforge's mailservers, and would not require anyone to download a big 
file that they may not have a use for. This is only my own preference, of 
course. Some people may not mind getting big mail attachments.

Thanks.

Hello David,

Thank you for answering my questions. I'll wait for the supporting
release.

Hello David,

After answering your reply I remembered another bug in the 
hpoj-0.6 source in xojpanel. The exact location of the 
bitmapfile was not given. The program made errors when the 
bitmap was not in the working directory. Therefore I give 
the bitmap a location in a directory under /usr/local/share 
and changed the sourcecode with this location. Now it is 
working fine from any location in the directory tree.

Kind regards,

Johan Laagland,

The Netherlands.
