I found a workaround: In a similar gentoo bug report (http://bot24.blogspot.co.at/2012/07/gentoo-bug-426494-net-printhplip-3126.html) it was suggested to downgrade hplip to 3.12.4. I used the following packages from precise-update (hplip 3.12.2):
hpijs_3.12.2-1ubuntu3.1_all.deb hpijs-ppds_3.12.2-1ubuntu3.1_all.deb hplip_3.12.2-1ubuntu3.1_amd64.deb hplip-cups_3.12.2-1ubuntu3.1_all.deb hplip-data_3.12.2-1ubuntu3.1_all.deb hplip-gui_3.12.2-1ubuntu3.1_all.deb libhpmud0_3.12.2-1ubuntu3.1_amd64.deb libsane-hpaio_3.12.2-1ubuntu3.1_amd64.deb printer-driver-hpcups_3.12.2-1ubuntu3.1_amd64.deb printer-driver-hpijs_3.12.2-1ubuntu3.1_amd64.deb printer-driver-postscript-hp_3.12.2-1ubuntu3.1_all.deb After installing them, removing the printer, and reinstalling it via hp- toolbox (following the onscreen suggestions), my scanner is working again. Of course this is only a workaround and not a solution, but maybe it narrows down the problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to hplip in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1057601 Title: scanner not found since update Status in HP Linux Imaging and Printing: New Status in “hplip” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Since update my scanner (hp photosmart premium 309a) is not found anymore. xsane says : "Fehler beim Öffnen des Gerätes 'hpaio:/net/Photosmart_C309a_series?zc=hpizl': Dateiende erreicht" (which may mean: Error while opening device: end of file) I did a new setup via hp-systray i.e. deleting the printer and readding it, but same result.
