Simple Scan HP Printer Scanner
- Edited
Axios s people like me older printer and separate scanner
dont seem to have issues think
as do I
Axios I think it stems from these multi function printers
I think so too. Or at least manufacturers complicate these things more than they should and linux support by the manufacturer is sometimes lame or nonexistent leaving a throw-a-dart method on any forum end.
all-in-one connection problems is a consistent 'thing' lately and the most important discovery is the role of stock installed sane package. (imo). edit: adding (IMO) to this end part.
Sorry, but for me, after install the package sane-airscan
, then reboot, there is not another scanner named : "eSCL - Your Printer" in the drop-down menu:
At your disposal if needed.
NB. I have a print scanner HP Officejet 2622
which use the print pilot HP Officejet 2620 series
.
penny-farthing A few question :
- What are the options available for you in the drop-down menu BEFORE and AFTER you installed `sane-airscan?
- How do you connect your computer to the printer/scanner?
- Can you give me your output of
simple-scan --debug
while replicating the problem?
1/ options available for you in the drop-down menu BEFORE and AFTER install sane-airscan
when startup simple-scan:
after click in the drop-menu:
2/ I use a cable with a USB port (this print/scanner is not wifi enabled).
3/
- simple-scan --debug before install sane-airscan

Thanks in advance for your feedback.
penny-farthing It doesn't look like you try to scan any document from the debug trace. I honestly don't know if this will help solving your problem or I will be able to solve it for you. But if you want to indulge me in this pursuit. Please try these steps :
- Uninstall
sane-airscan
.sudo eopkg rm --purge sane-airscan
. Make sure it is not installed. - Make sure
sane-backends
is installed. - From terminal run
simple-scan --debug
- Try scan a page with "Single Page" option.
- Try scan a page with "All Page from Feeder" option.
- Try scan a page with "Multiple Page From Flatbed" option.
- Close
simple-scan
. - Post that log here.
- Now, install
sane-airscan
. Check if there is any other scanner in the dropdown-menu. If there isn't, just select the previous scanner. - Redo Step number 3 until step number 8.

Not trying to interupt this may be something to try at some point.
Go to system printers and then your printer details and get the address of printer mine looked like this
Brother MFC-J680DW.ipp.tcp.local.
Then in terminal run (simple-scan airscan: Brother MFC-J680DW.ipp.tcp.local)
I had 2 entries airscan and eSCL select airscan and see if that works.
Just info
Note I forgot my brother scanned dont use it to ink hungry but I tested the above and it worked
for me
Note might run (scanimage --list-devices) to make sure you have an airscan device listed
The logs are substantial and I've recorded them by copy/paste into a .txt
file via gedit
.
Problem: when importing the file into this post, the following message appears => "Uploading files of this type is not allowed."
How can I report the results of the tests you asked me to carry out?
Can you show me how to find this address of my printer, please ?
- Edited
penny-farthing I wasnt expecting that start simple-scan and see if changes the address
if it does thats what you want where it says localhost. (let me know either way could make difference)
It should change meaning it found the scanner.
Note then close simple-scan and try that from terminal
Oh type it just like it shows
penny-farthing How can I report the results of the tests you asked me to carry out?
Copy them to some kind of pastebin. Then post the link to it here. This is my prefered one : https://0.0g.gg/ .

@penny-farthing Sorry I will be not be able take a look at this for a few days. I made a big mistake on my PC. Cheers!
P.S : Your link to pastebin is expired. Please choose appropriate "Expires" time and uncheck the "Burn after Reading", so the link last longer.
So sorry, I rectified the links in my post:
https://discuss.getsol.us/d/10368-simple-scan-hp-printer-scanner/27
Thanks to you, I still learned some new today.
This forum is really amazing, thanks.
I remain at your disposal if necessary, once you will have been able to adjust your troubles on your PC.
penny-farthing Can you copy mutli pages with printer without issue?
I can print several pages in a row without any problem.
penny-farthing Copy like a copy machine
Like on mine if I need a copy of something I can do it from the printer itself.
The reason being wanted to make sure it wasnt hardware from the log you posted.
Does your printer have that feature.
Printing doesnt use the scanning hardware.
Thanks
My printer's menu includes a Copy function (black & white or color) with the option of setting the number of copies.
I tested this function by placing a document on the glass on top of the printer and asking for 2 copies. The document was printed as requested, with no downtime.
