Sane issue
by business_kid from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4YYZ2)
Recently upgraded to ~Current & rewrote configs (long overdue). To my great surprise, cups works on my Multifunction HP MFP130W printer. Scanning fails, with this error Code:Failed to open decice 'hpaio:/net/hp_laserjet_mfp_m129-m134?ip=192.168.178.103&queue=false.'
Error during Device I/O The scanner is on wifi. I can connect it temporarily if it helps.The data looks right - printer ppd, IP, etc.
hp-check tells me to 'install avahi-utils' (Pause for laughter). Of course, they're not on the current iso, which I presume supplies sane & xsane dependencies. Also hp-check complains for the lack of PyQt4.sip. I found PyQt4, & sip; I had to install sip, then PyQt4, which is a LONG compile. I installed it for python-3.8, but I gather cups is still on python2, because it still complained for the lack of PyQt4.sip. I tried to install for python2, but my sip version is too new :banghead:.
I did try Code:saned -l -b 192.168.178.103 but that just exits. Do I need PyQt4 for operation?
/etc/saned/saned.conf just has my IP range uncommented. There's no firewall and no inetd to worry about.
