HP recommends us follow this steps in order to support this scanner The HP driver contains calls to libsane.so. Unfortunately, libsane.so lacks the sanei_usb module.
To add this module, 1) Obtain the SANE distribution from www.sane-project.org. 2) add "sanei_usb.lo" to the "EXTRA" line in backend/Makefile.in: diff -e backend/Makefile.in ../sane-backends-1.0.13.hp/backend/Makefile.in 71c EXTRA = sane_strstatus.lo ../sanei/sanei_init_debug.lo ../sanei/sanei_config.lo ../sanei/sanei_usb.lo . 3) follow the SANE README build and instructions. This sequence of instructions appears to install in /etc/sane.d and /usr/lib: cd sane-backends-1.0.13 configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc make su make install ** Changed in: sane-backends (Guadalinex Edu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist ** Changed in: sane-backends (Guadalinex Edu) Status: New => Confirmed -- HP Scanjet 2400 does not work with ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/194748 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
