Hello,
I need to scan a document with a HP 3700 printer/scanner. I installed the driver package from the repository but I can't really install a ddp driver or select one from the list in the driver menu because there's no option like "install" coming up. The tools like simplescan don't recognize the printer/scanner and hang...

What's the correct procedure to get the scanner functionality to work?

S.

    As long as the printer is properly installed, the scanner always works, at least in my case with simple-scan

    sudo eopkg it hplip
    sudo eopkg it sane-backends

    I also use simple-scan as a graphical application to operate the scanner.

      HPF-84E
      I would also recommend those two packages to the OP. I have them.

      Also simple-scan DID NOT work for my scanner but gscan2pdf (in repo) did. So there's options.
