I am using an HP scanjet 3500c with ubuntu 9.10 64bit. I was tired so the instructions were not clear to my tired little head but once I figured it out, it worked fine. Thank you.
For those easily confused like myself: 1) goto System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager, search for SANE and mark for complete removal of sane packages installed. 2) Close Synaptic Package Manager 3) Following Henrik Daver's instructions from 2009-11-19 click on the link to down load libsane for your install. (at the bottom and choose a mirror on next screen) 4) It will ask what you want to do with the file and select open. 5) It then says something about wanting to install this when a new version exists, yes you do. 6) Click the install at the top right part of the screen when that comes up. 7) When that is done go back to System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager, search for SANE 8) Install a front end, Xsane. You should be good to go. Thank you Henrik and all the others that posted here. -- xsane crashes after aquire preview https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/428476 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
