hpilp in breezy/dapper does not support scanning for HP C3100 series

[Bryann Melvin]

The HPILP docs installed with basic Ubuntu Breezy and Dapper show HP all in one Series C31XX as being able to be able to print and scan.

Trying this on a 3 dapper and 1 remaining breezy machine I could not get the scanner working at all.

Compiling and installing the latest hplip tar.gz from sourceforge cured the problem

It appears the Dapper/Breezy implementation of HPLIP is incomplete causing at least some multifunction devices to not be able to scan ( this would preclude fax also somewhat)

Problem is definitely fixable as I did it by compiling the latest version.

I removed all hpilp related debs, then compiled hpilp per instructions included in hplip-1.6.7.tar.gz from sourceforge.

All functions seem to work now.

I requested hplip 1.6.7 backported for dapper here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1532820#post1532820 I thought this might be related.

closing as a duplicate. the new version seems to be available (or will be) for edgy. thanks for your bug report.
