penny-farthing Can you copy mutli pages with printer without issue?

penny-farthing

I can print several pages in a row without any problem.

Axios

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.

penny-farthing Rules any mechanical issues out
Thanx

@penny-farthing Ok, I just got my computer back. Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything different from your logs😢. I also just realize that sane-airscan is only useful if you connect your printer via network (Wifi/LAN). Maybe try connecting your printer via Wifi ? Then install sane-aircscan and see if simple-scan will show that "eSCL -Your Pinter Name" option in the drop down menu. This is the last one, I don't know any other solution. Maybe someone else have more knowledge on this than me. Sorry if this is not helpful after all. Cheers!

Unfortunately, I will not be able to follow up on your request, because my printer is not planned to operate in WiFi. I will therefore uninstall the sane-airscan package, since in my current config, it is not useful to me to keep it.

Thank you anyway for trying to help me.

I'm leaving this post open in case someone can suggest another way forward and I'll be using the Skanpage sofware in the meantime.

Axios

alfisya Can we rollback hplip to a previous version?

penny-farthing

Precision:
In the meantime, I have managed to install simple-scan in flatpak version after uninstalled that of the Software Center) and there, from the launch of the application, it tells me the following message:
"Aucun périphérique de numérisation détecté." (No detected scanning device.)
while my printer is properly connected to a USB port on my computer.

Below, the logs when startup the application in a terminal session:

administrateur@solus-budgie ~ $ flatpak run org.gnome.SimpleScan
Gtk-Message: 13:55:21.304: Failed to load module "xapp-gtk3-module"
Gtk-Message: 13:55:21.334: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"
Gtk-Message: 13:55:21.334: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"
administrateur@solus-budgie ~ $

So I uninstalled it and reinstalled the Software Center version while waiting.

the canberr stuff is normal.
have you tried gscan2pdf in our repo?

penny-farthing

brent

The installation of gscan2pdf generated 36 packages.

The launch of the application generated the following message:

(but the pdftk package does not exist in the Software Center)

Then arrived on the interface, when scanning the 2nd page, the following error message appears:

but the page is well scanned.

Please note:

The quality of scanning of pages with gscan2pdf is less good than with Skanpage
gscan2pdf allows you to scan the image of a webcam.

I have been full circle so many times on this because its not a real clear issue
Tried running hp-check -t or -r on my hp laser/no scan their was so much stuff and errors could not
tell anything concrete.
In the log she posted its says device busy error if the printer isnt showing that in display its going to be a software thing.
Have not connected dots yet.

Below, the result of these terminal commands:
https://0.0g.gg/?70c87cca2549b63b#C939NWJ1MNZxDNm4YmE8eS6qduMd2Y338HLcEYJcNQaa

I'm not sure what to do with these results. Some packages are already installed, others are not on the Software Center.

The last document (2 pages) I scanned with simple-scan dates back to 01/08/2024 and I don't remember having changed anything after that date concerning my print/scanner.

That's why I'm asking a expert person to help me find a solution to this problem.
Thanks by advance.

brent

penny-farthing thats the normal warnings for gscan. Congratulations you can scan! that app has saved me a couple times.

Axios

penny-farthing From what I know really dont see an issue with that listing.
And from other file the busy error why its not scanning 2nd page.
I think hplip has been updated since then maybe thats it an update.
Be nice if we could roll back hplip

also before epson made a flatpak for my scanner I used gscan to 'jack' it up. Apps that didn't work-like you are going through--all of a sudden worked. thru some x's and o's sorcery I imagined it 'opened up the pipe' so better scanners coulde see it.

I got the point I'd launch gscan then quit it because apps that didn't work now worked. I know that's weird.

If gscan is not the quality you want find something calledXsane and install it. That bailed me out too when solus and scanners didn't talk (well) and has mega super advance settings. more buttons to play with than I have time for.

often if the repo packages didn't work for you (they did not work for me) you don't have to work with them. there's always something else on the outside.

Axios What do you mean? Is it related to this thread? Or are you having different problem? If it is different problem, lets make another forum post or file an issue on github. If it is related to this thread, I don't think hplip matters much because this is more related to SANE. But you can just download the.eopkg file of hplip from https://packages.getsol.us/ the run sudo eopkg nameofthepackage.eopkg to rollback.

Axios

alfisya Na it was related to this thread was just wondering if hplip could be rolled back
You are prob right.
Thanx for reply

Bingo, let me explain.

From this day (01/08/2024) I scanned a 2-page document withsimple-scan, 3 updates were produced for the packages hplip and hplip-drivers:


- 02/16/2024  v 3.23.5-56-1  -> v 3.23.12-57-1
- 02/24/2024  v 3.23.12-57-1 -> v 3.23.12-58-1
- 03/07/2024  v 3.23.12-58-1 -> v 3.23.12-59-1

NB. The previous update then dates back to 07/29/2023.

I tested each version, from the most recent to the one that took place before my last scan.

I was this one that worked, by typing the following terminal command:
sudo eopkg it hplip-3.23.5-56-1-x86_64.eopkg hplip-drivers-3.23.5-56-1-x86_64.eopkg
and then reboot.

An important (and surprising) note: I was able to scan a 2-page document using a single page (Page unique) instead of multiple pages from a flat scanner (Pages multiples depuis un numériseur à plat)!

I hope I've made my observations as clear as possible, and thank you in advance for your feedback.

Axios

penny-farthing Interesting
Something between the two hplip and sane but at least it works now for you.

brent

Axios yep things fell apart for him at the 2/16 update.
penny-farthing that is some diligent troubleshooting . wow

alfisya

penny-farthing Please add this info to the github issue and you could ping TraceyC on github too as she is the maintainer of hplip.
