This might not have been the right bug - but anyway simple-scan was complaining about a missing HP plugin. From hplip-gui there is an option to in the device manager "Install Required Plugin". This failed with what looks like a permission problem. So I ran it from the command line
sudo hp-plugin that seemed to succeed and I can scan now. However, from the hplip-gui it still syas the plugin is missing, though it did seem to install from the command line. -- Simple scan can't see my printer (scanner), it just see my web cam. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/546789 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
