Thread: HPLIP and HP PSC 500- printer works, scanner doesn't.

so, been using hp psc 500 print while now, scanning won't work. thing is, scanner 1 of old parallel port all-in-ones hp, not old won't work. i've seen people being able work using modprob ppdev, enabling parallel ports hplip installer, etc.

problem is, can't seem use parallel ports @ all. doesn't ask me in hplip installer, whether automatic or custom, enable them (pp-build=yes/no). doesn't ask.

it's kind of obnoxious. don't think root has access scanner or parallel ports. if me them enabled, or printing going, that'd great.

p.s. installed libsane-extras package, too. no good. been using xsane test it, , never detects devices. in advance help.

well, reverting hpoj , uninstalling hplip seems have solved scanner problems providing 'legacy' parallel port support.

however, can't seem printer work. xd says stopped in printer state section of printer's preferences. backend not exist? i'll have further. i'll come here updates, , if has suggestion, please leave message.
