Axios

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.

      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

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

          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.

                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.

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

                          brent Its always that one question you ask or that one thing that a person says that
                          makes the light bulb go on for someone.

                            Note that if your HP device requires the proprietary plugin, it needs to be reinstalled every time HPLIP version number changes.

                              As requested, I've report my last observations into the GitHub issue.

                              Concerning the ping, how do I proceed please?

                              • where can I find the ip address of my scanner printer? (terminal command?)

                              • if you need to use a specific syntax for the terminal ping command to precise the result, please let me know;

                              • should I simply copy the result as a comment into the Github issue, indicating that it concerns TraceyC, otherwise could you please tell me how to proceed?

                              Thank you in advance for your indulgence, because I do not yet master certain computer knowledge.

                                  penny-farthing I think you misunderstood me. I only ask that you mention/ping TraceyC (She is the maintainer of hplip) in github issue (like you mention my username on github). It is not related to networking at all. 😅

                                      Since nearly 4 years I work with Solus on my computer, I've just installed the packages hplip and hplip-drivers and I use simple-scan for scanning my documents without any problems until recently, as explained in this post.

                                          Sorry for the confusion, these are just some of the surprises a numeric translator can throw at you. 😄

                                          Anyway, I mentioned this info into the GitHub issue.

                                            this may even be beyond hp and something happened recently that had a big big ripple effect re: the law of unintended consequences when it came to scanners & printers lately. it's too many stories/threads like this on a short timeline. far more than the ordinary and certainly not coincidence.

                                            it's not conspiratorial, it's a bad marriage of a handful of elements whose effects/origins haven't been tracked down yet because only a minority of general print & scan users (all hp, brother, epson in my observation) are effected.

                                            I have fought these wars in linux (printer & scanner) for years until I caught a break: solus packaged the printer drivers and flatpak packaged the scanner drivers. but no one's hardware lasts forever so I keep a close eye on the abundance of these threads re: "It always worked this way, now it doesn't" is another wrinkle in these threads for sure.
                                            spitballing and speculating, of course.

                                                I've read your comment and I don't want there to be any misunderstanding. My approach in this post was simply to find out if the problem I was experiencing on my HP printer/scanner was an isolated case or if it was a more general problem. This problem has now been brought up through an issue on GitHub and the developer concerned is working on it.

                                                Your experience in the IT field allows you to have a relevant look at all kinds of situation encountered (and in particular on the one I mentioned in this post) and it's for me always interesting to read.

                                                    penny-farthing there's no misunderstanding--all good. I didn't see it as an isolated case but more of a trend; and all the words were my own observation on your issue.
                                                    glad you filed a bug. glad you can scan with gscan even though its not the quality you want.
                                                    🙂: my 'experience in the IT field' is none, just the school of hard knocks when one commits to linux life as a layman and insists on peripheral devices🙂
