HP Deskjet 2720 scanner not working
by teboil12 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5BDMB)
Hello
I have a HP Deskjet 2720 installed to my laptop (HP). The former printer, a HP Deskjet 3733 (broke down) was replaced by this new one. Result: no way to get XSane working, luckily I got the printer working through localhost 631. The computer fails to find easyscan. Lsusb tells me that a Hewlett Packard is connected. Is there perhaps a way to use another driver instead of HP Deskjet 2700 series? A solution, anyone?
