Hello - I installed Debian Sarge on my laptop about three weeks ago, so I am still very new to all of this. I feel like I have learned a lot in a short time, but I can't seem to figure out how to install my HP PSC 1210 multifunction to print and scan. I have set up printing without too much difficulty, but scanning is turning out to be a bear. When I try to use XSane it freezes, and I am confident that the problem is that the scanner is not set up correctly. But how, I don't know. I found this little blurb on the linuxprinting.org website, but completely understanding it is another story: Does not understand PCL as most other DeskJets/PSCs/OfficeJets, it uses the so-called "Lightweight Imaging Device Interface Language" (LIDIL), these printers are supported by the "hpijs" driver beginning from version 1.3. The driver supports resolutions only up to 600 dpi, head alignment settings stored in the printer are not made use of, so use a one-cartridge (CMY) printing mode in case of mis-alignments. Scanning works using the HPOJ <http://hpoj.sourceforge.net/> low-level driver together with its SANE <http://www.sane-project.org/> backend "hpoj". However, note that when using the current version (0.9) you can only scan, and when you don't use HPOJ at all you can only print. To fix this so you can both print and scan, you MUST install libusb <http://libusb.sourceforge.net> and upgrade to the CVS version of HPOJ <http://hpoj.sourceforge.net>. So, if I got this right, I need to install libusb and upgrade to the CVS version of HPOJ. Can someone explain how I do this? My attempts to install libusb (the most recent release) get foiled at the build stage, and I can't find anything regarding a CVS version of HPOJ on the site. I am looking forward to hearing your words of advice. Thanks in advance. -Ron Crummett |

Hi Ron, I'm the Debian GNU/Linux maintainer for hpoj and I have a HP PSC 1215, which I think is very close to the 1210 as I am using the 1210 drivers! I can assure you that scanning and printing do work at the same time. The Debian packages have all the enhancements from the CVS version. Can you confirm which version of hpoj you have installed via debian? `dpkg -l hpoj` Also please confirm that hpoj isn't commented out of /etc/sane.d/dll.conf, that should be automatic, but you never know. > Scanning works using the HPOJ <http://hpoj.sourceforge.net/> low-level > driver together with its SANE <http://www.sane-project.org/> backend > "hpoj".

You should be using version 0.91 if you got it from sarge. Not 0.9 which is an older version. > So, if I got this right, I need to install libusb and upgrade to the CVS > version of HPOJ.

Thanks in advance. No you don't need to do that.

Mark - I've gone through and run the commands you suggested. I have put my results after your suggestions.

That file doesn't exist. I have no hpoj directory in /usr/share/doc, though I am told that hpoj is installed. >msp@debian:~$ scanimage --list-devices >device `hpoj:mlc:usb:psc_1200_series' is a Hewlett-Packard psc 1200 series >multi-function peripheral > > device `hpaio:/usb/psc_1200_series?serial=<serial #>' is a hp psc_1200_series multi-function peripheral >msp@debian:~$ dpkg -l hpoj >Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold >| Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed >|/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: >uppercase=bad) >||/ Name Version Description >+++-=========================-=========================-================================================================== >ii hpoj 0.91-4 HP OfficeJet Linux >driver (hpoj) > > rc hpoj 0.91-4 HP OfficeJet Linux driver (hpoj) >Mark > > >------------------------------------------------------- >SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO >September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices >Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA >Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf > >_______________________________________________ >hpoj-devel mailing list >hpo...@li... >https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/hpoj-devel > > I hope that this helps. I do have a question regarding hpoj, however. When I run the commands you suggest I am given a version number, but when I look at uninstalled packages under aptitude, hpoj 0.91-4 is listed as not installed. I have been hesitant to install it because doing so uninstalls hplip. Thanks again! Ron Crummett |

That said if you download hpoj-0.91-5 from unstable that will actually allow you to have both hpoj and hplip loaded together. It should co-exist on a sarge box as well. My setup here I use hpoj by itself, I don't have hplip installed. hplip is actually maintained by another team, but they are supposed to co-exist, but hplip is in development. I would recommend that if hplip works by itself, then that is prefered for USB PSC's, if you have mixed usb and parallel then you should use both hplip (usb) and hpoj (parallel) and if you only have parallel then hpoj is prefered. That said hpoj will support both usb scanning/ printing as I am running here. So I would recommend you deinstall hplip and see if hpoj will pick it up by itself. Mark |

Which means hpiod and hpssd will want complete, total, unshared control of the connection to the MFP device while scanning or printing. It does not care what happens to the connection during idle time (it closes and reopens the connection every time it processes a job, be it a scan, photocard access, fax or print job). > Hmm, That shouldn't be such a bad thing if hplip is taking ownership of the > scanner. I have recently removed the hpoj/hplip conflict from hplip in sid. Unfortunately, sarge retains the conflict. > That said if you download hpoj-0.91-5 from unstable that will actually allow > you to have both hpoj and hplip loaded together. It should co-exist on a > sarge box as well. IF the hplip packages are manually fixed to kill the conflicts header, yes. sorry about that. I will remove that header from backports, which should come soon to the hpijs alioth project. > I would recommend that if hplip works by itself, then that is prefered for USB > PSC's, if you have mixed usb and parallel then you should use both hplip > (usb) and hpoj (parallel) and if you only have parallel then hpoj is > prefered. Correct. hplip does not work with parallel connections. It could, but HP upstream won't write the code, and nobody seems to be willing to improve hpiod to do so. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.

Using kubuntu, my psc-1315 will scan with gimp and print text from other applications, but it won't print from gimp. Setup seems to not go right. In gimp printer setup, printer name is psc1315, but printer model always says "Postscript Level 2." When I click on "setup printer' I have a choice of many HP printers, but none are psc, just deskjet and lazerjet. If I browse and enter /etc/cups/ppd/hp1315.ppd where it asks for a ppd file, it never prints. Any help appreciated, bruce |
