Xsane Not Seeing Scanner.
by borgward from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4YXTM)
Linux Mint 64bit 18.0, HP Officejet-Pro-6970
I get no devices available when I run Xsane when I do $ sudo xsane
I can print wirelessly to the printer scanner, but not scan. I can scan from from the HP to USB.
Scanner was working previously.
I did get a notice:
HPLIP cannot detect devices in your network. This may be due to existing firewall settings blocking the required ports like (5353/udp). When you are in a trusted network environment, you may open the ports for network services like mdns and slp in the firewall. For detailed steps follow the link.

Should I do what that link says or something else. I did remove and reinstall the HP after Xsane did not see it.
