in fedora core my hp psc 1210 that means printer scanner and copier in one unit . the hpijs picks up the printer but using xsane and kooka niethier one will reconize the scanner device . i had tried it under lindows and mandrake and both those were plug n play using the same applications i just mentioned . any ideas ?
Check that you have the hpoj rpm installed,then as root, run 'ptal-init setup' give it a default name then run 'ptal-init start' ( I think! )
if its a usb it may use /dev/lp0,mine's a 2110 with little setup problems.
Two tips: scanning text (ocr), use 600dpi
