    Ok, I've installed all I can find under xsane and scanner drivers in
    yumex and still get "no device available" on both F-16/64 computers.
    I installed xsane on the second computer just to be sure it's not
    peculiar to this one.

    And I tried running as root, it produces a warning not to, doing it
    anyway yields the same result, no device available

    I suppose the scanner could have failed but it was working not long
    ago with F-15.

    Am I the only one unable to run an HP scanner on Fedora-16? My
    installs are from a live USB/xfce version but I have been doing it
    that way for some time without any problems.
