[SOLVED] (hplip) Can not detect scanner after BASIC install

SOLVED by installing hplip
Xsane does not detect my scanner, not even when running it as root.
Xsane does detect that scanner on another machine with FULL install.
Note: lsusb detects that device.

I think you need to add the sudo user to scanner group.

Code: Select all
$ sane-find-scanner
# sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the
# result is different from what you expected, first make sure your
# scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer.
# No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that
# you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.
# Also you need support for SCSI Generic (sg) in your operating system.
# If using Linux, try "modprobe sg".

Is the user in the "storage" group? Your printout looks like a USB issue permission issue.

There is no "storage" group.
By searching the internet, it might be a BIOS issue, but I do not know where to look.

Does at least one of the three following programs work?
- simple-scan
scanimage
sane-find-scanner
If none work, then probably the api SANE is not installed. Therefore, you can check first for the API.

west,
You beat me to it. This was my next thought.
Also, if you cant tell already I learned along time ago about not being in the proper groups....check to make sure your user is in the "plugdev" group. You were correct the "scanner" group is not in Slackware and was from my prior pre systemd Arch days.

I have compared the groups of sudo user with another machine where printer and scanner work.
Code: Select all
$ simple-scan
** (simple-scan:2123): WARNING **: No scan device available
Code: Select all
$ scanimage
scanimage: no SANE devices found

ChuangTzu, I am sorry for that.

Not to be in the right group, used to be a problem in the past and required some manual work. In a Full installation I have not seen that for some time.
But member zAchAry uses a Basic installation and might have to rework more when he install individual packages later.
I had overlooked the fact that zAchAry had already used sane-find-scanner. SANE therefore must already be installed.
