I started a thread that just brushed on the topic of running Xsane to scan with my HP c6380. However, the subject did not go very deep. It was alot about the printer, but not very much about scanning. It was also a previous installation and version of FedoraKDE. Now, I would like to take a moment to ask how to get Xsane up and running so that I can scan with my printer. I have it installed using $yum. However, the icon has not appeared anywhere and I am stumped.

I had some directions given to me in this forum, and I tried to follow them, but when I went into the man page as directed by one of the terminal commands, the directions there were cryptic. No success with changing permissions for sane-find-scanner in the file where permissions are supposed to reside. Started looking around down there at a couple of files and all I saw was garbage. how to change permissions for sane-find-scanner
View 6 Replies View RelatedI bought a HP Photosmart C6380 Printer a few days ago, and i am trying to make it work on my Laptop with Fedora 11 installed on it. Like all the ither posts concerning this problem, when i connect the printer by USB it works without a problem. I can ping the printer with success and i can also access the Web interface of the Printer. So i think that the Printer is connected correctly to my WIFI network. I have tried several things.
- I have tried to install it with CUPS, selected "HP JetDirect", put in the IP-Adress of the Printer, selected the driver for 6300
series. In the URI i had something like "socket://<IP-Adress of the printer>:9100". After that tried to print a test page -> Nothing.
- I tried it with IPP, same result, nothing.
- I also tried, after having read a lot here, to put "http://<IP-Adress of the printer>". After that, i tried to print a test page, and the printer seemed to work. But what i got was a lot of crap, really unreadable things.

Here i got unreadable things
- I also tried the CUPS web interface without any result.
- I also tried HPLIP. Downloaded the latest version and installed it. After installation i ran "hp-setup". I tried all the three steps, the only one that worked was step one, USB. For the rest nothing worked. I did not try the printer connected by Ethernet, but i think that this should work, because i tried an HP printer at work an that worked. I have an WIFI access point, so no ad-hoc connection. On my wife's Laptop, where Windows Vista is installed, the printer works without any problem.
I downloaded HPLIP, and I began the install process. After 'make', it prompted me to restart. Thinking that would be good, I restarted. When I logged back in I tried to print a document, and it didn't print. I don't know what to do. I tried to follow the directions at http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web...all/index.html, and they weren't very good. How can I tell if everything is installed for the printer? Once it is installed, how do I configure it and set it up? It is a wireless printer.

I would like to improve my skill-set on hardening a linux server (for work and personal interest). Is there a specific linux distro I can install that is purposely corrupted/vulnerable where the sole goal is to secure it, and then have the means to scan it to make sure all vulnerabilities are patched and secured?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a Brother MFC-7440N which has Linux drivers, but I can't get useful scans yet. It prints fine, but the only scanning software I've found so far, XSane and a utility just called "Scanner Utility" are both useless.
XSane is no good because it crashes every time I try to scan something.
Scanner Utility has a few problems. Unless I set the paper size to "Legal," it keeps cutting off the bottom few inches of my (US letter-size) document. It's the same, regardless of whether I scan from the auto document feeder, or with the original on the glass. Also the orientation is screwed up. When I select "Portrait," the scan comes out rotated 90 degrees, exactly the opposite of what I'd expect.
I also don't like that there's no way to go back and change the scan settings. If I want to scan another document or at a different resolution, I have to quit Scan Utility and run it again.
Neither utility will scan to a .pdf. XSane gives the option, but like I said, it crashes every time I try to scan something.
Is there a scanning program available for Ubuntu that actually works, & will scan to a .pdf? Brother doesn't supply any scanning software for Linux, just drivers, so I have to find some 3rd-party utility.
Is there an easy scanning program for kubuntu and where do I go to get it? My mom is running it and needs to scan things. She has the all-in-one mentioned in the thread title.

The Connection manager can find wireless APs, but it won't connect to any of those. Also, aircrack-ng does not find any APs while scanning.After some tinkering and a lot of restarting, I can now connect t wireless networks, although slowly.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWhy doesn't my laptop's built-in fingerprint scanner work in GNOME? It's fairly common (manufactured by UPEK) and I've tried fprintd and thinkfinger to no avail. The latter seems to be built for USB-attached devices and fails to find any device and the former installs and runs fine, but fails to recognize any fingerprints.
Using either fprintd-enroll or the GNOME "About Me" panel, fprintd will gladly register my fingerprint, but no amount of swiping will get it to actually recognize it afterwards. I try re-installing it every new update, but same results, what's going on?
I would like to set up a email virus scanner. I use Spamssassin and BogoFilter (Spamssassin by default).
I have now installed Clam-AV (KlamAV) for the "normal" files on my system. and see that there is a tab in there for email scanning. When i pick Evolution as my email client it tells me to set up a filter and pipe if into Klammail. I can not find Klammail anywhere. I have even looked for it in the Documentation and all i could see is that i can not run this manually.
I have found links to say that if i am using Spamssassin that this will use CLamAV be default... Im not sure if this is the case or not. of if there is another AV system i should be using to do email virus scanning.
Ubuntu 10.04.1

scanimage is cool. It would be great if there was a command line that one can configure to scan without X, and with rather quite some options to configure... convert to jpgcapable of finding -d snap:lib... whatever you plug and replug the scanner
View 12 Replies View RelatedI have only just got my first netbook and when I first installed 11.2 on it it would detect local networks and ask if I wanted to use any of them. Since they belonged to other people and I use a wired connection at home, I declined. I then took my netbook on travels and tried to connect to freely available networks there, but to my surprise it no longer detected them. I tried to go through YAsT and see what needs to be changed but no matter what I tried the wireless option was never offered again.
I have now come back and decided to get to the bottom of this. Here is what I get from iwlist scan:lo Interface doesn't support scanning eth0 Interface doesn't support scanning.It is as if there has never been a wireless capability. Can anyone advise on what to do to fix this?
Has anyone been trying or playing with Banshee and the Mirage plug-in? I set it up to do a media scan, and I'm looking at somewhere in the neighborhood of 18hrs now and it's still going.... More importantly, when this is complete, and I add some new music, will the scan just hit the new tracks, or will it go through the whole library again? If you have any experience with this please fill me in if you can.
