the printer side is ok, while the scanner is completely dead

Same bug for me with Ubuntu 12.10, kubuntu 12.10, mint 14 (all 64bit) using Office jet 6500-709a , both via USB and lan, using hplip from repositories and latest from HP. Hp-check -r returns no errors.
I have tried the previous symlink fix, without success.

I can post more details later if needed

Hi,

Can you please check whether libsane-hpaio.so* files present in "/usr/lib/sane" or "/usr/lib64/sane".

$ ls -l /usr/lib/sane/libsane-hpaio*

$ ls -l /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-hpaio*

if these files are not present in "/usr/lib/sane" folder, then copy these files into "/usr/lib64/sane/" folder.
$ sudo cp /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-hpaio.* /usr/lib/sane/

if these files are present in "/usr/lib/sane" folder, please provide following data.

$ hp-scan -g

Thanks & Regards,
Amarnath

I am not at my computer, but I did check before. I did not have a /usr/lib64/ but I did find the files and copied them over, but I failed to help

Unplugging printer and leaving off overnight seems to have solved the problem

go figure
