Good luck getting scanning to work. It may not be impossible, but
the available info on what scanners can work with linux is
microscopic.
(I gave up and use a networked device and do my scanning from a
windows virtual machine).
The HP all-in-one devices used to be pretty good about linux
support, but I don't know if that is true any longer. The hplip
package provided the support.
Interesting. I did not realize that was not something that was not
commonly working now. My Epson Artisan 730 works very well for
scanning. I don't remember going thru that much trouble getting it
working but maybe I blocked out the trauma. Not helpful for the
original question tho, since it is an ink jet. For scanning I use
"iscan" which is for Epson only it seems.
