[brian_p (claremont102)]

Does the file /usr/share/hplip/data/models/models.dat exist and does it have an entry for the ScanJet 2500 (scanjet_2500)?

--
Brian.

[brian_p (claremont102)]

The entry should be scanjet_pro_2500

--
Brian.

[Sab (sab1703)]

Files /usr/share/hplip/data/models/models.dat exists
The entry exists, too.

Have a nice evening !

[brian_p (claremont102)]

I downloaded hplip-3.19.8 for Debian. There isn't any entry in models.dat for the device. Perhaps you can post the entry you have.

--
Brian.

[Sab (sab1703)]

I've downloaded and installed from : https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing/gethplip because in the distro package it was an old version and that scanner, as I can read in https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing/supported_devices/index, is full supported since version 3.19.1.

The PC and scanner are at my mother's. Of course I'll give you the information during that day. But please, be patient : I have to go to work...

[brian_p (claremont102)]

models.dat in hplip-3.19.8.run doesn't have it either.

--
Brian.

[Sab (sab1703)]

I've just been connected with my mother's PC. Sorry, but my mother (88) did a mistake yesterday evening, she read "Scanjet 3500..." instead of "Scanjet 2500...".

[brian_p (claremont102)]

Not to worry, Sab. The scanjet_pro_2500_f1 is not the only missing entry. Upstream HPLIP will have to deal with this bug. I can, however, give you something to try. It is a pure guess!

Edit models.dat to have

[scanjet_pro_2500_f1]
scan-src=3
scan-type=9
support-type=2

Then try 'scanimage -L' and scanning.

--
Brian.

[Sab (sab1703)]

I'm just back from work.
It's too late for calling my mother. I'll do it tomorrow, in the morning and will keep you informed.

Thank you !

Have a nice evening.

[Santhosh Manchikanti (santhosh2357651)]

Hi Sab,

SJ2500 is fully supported from 3.19.1 version.
Looks like plugin installation failed.
Please download hplip-3.19.8-plugin.run from below path

https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing/plugins

and install plugin using below command

$sh hplip-3.19.8-plugin.run

Please let me if you still face the issue.

Regards,
Santhosh Manchikanti

[Sab (sab1703)]

Hi !

Thank you for having helped

@ Brian
Sorry but that didn't run :(

@Sandtosh Manchikanti
I've downloaded, installed it but that's still not running...

Each time the return is :

m@m:~$ scanimage -L

No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
m@m:~$

Have a nice day !

[brian_p (claremont102)]

@Sandtosh Manchikanti There isn't an entry for [scanjet_pro_2500_f1] or SJ2500 in models.dat. Am I missing something or is that normal?

--
Brian.

[brian_p (claremont102)]

@Sandtosh Manchikanti My problem with your lack of response here is that you imply there is something wrong with the models.dat I obtained from HPLIP. Complete silence appears to be the upstream tactic when faced with a user problem.

Straightforward question: Should scanjet_pro_2500_f1 be in models.dat?

--
Brian.

[Santhosh Manchikanti (santhosh2357651)]

Hi Brian,

From 3.16.2 we are not adding Scanjet devices in models.dat

"- Queue configuration using 'hp-setup' command is no more supported for HP ScanJets. Scan frontends like xsane, hp-scan, scanimage, simplescan will automatic"

Can you please share hp-check logs.

Regards,
Santhosh Manchikanti

[Sab (sab1703)]

Hi Santhosh !

I confirm that nor xsane, nor hp-scan, nor scanimage, nor simplescan recognize this Scanjet.

Regards,
Sab

[Santhosh Manchikanti (santhosh2357651)]

Hi Sab,

Can you please use the above plugin installation steps and share hp-check logs.

Regards,
Santhosh

[Sab (sab1703)]

Hi Santhosh !

Sorry but english isn't my mother's tongue and I don't understand what do you mean by "above plugin installation steps" :(. Are they the results for commands xsane and so on ? or something else ?

Regards,
Sab

[brian_p (claremont102)]

@sab The advice I gave wasn't relevant. You need to install the plugin in the way Santhosh described.

--
Brian.

[brian_p (claremont102)]

To be clear:

Download hplip-3.19.8-plugin.run from the link below

  https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing/plugins

and install plugin using the command

  sh hplip-3.19.8-plugin.run

Hi Sab,

xsane needs to be installed,
Please run hp-doctor command

"sh hp-doctor"

Regards
Santhosh Manchikanti

[Sab (sab1703)]

Hi Santhosh !

This morning, because of the updates, there was so a chaos with results : broken packages. I just had time to repair them but not to reinstall xsane.
Because it's too late for my mother... I'll be connected to her PC tomorrow in the morning. At the latest, you'll have the log during lunch time at midday.

Have a nice evening !

Regards,
Sab

@Sandtosh Manchikant

https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing/plugins

has hplip-3.17.11-plugin.run as the earliest entry, During today I wanted hplip-3.17.10-plugin.run Does offering only a restricted download list have a reason?

(This has nothing to do with Sab's issue, but it seems unusual to limit what one can get from an HPLIP website when it comes to plugins).

Hi Brian,

I am not sure for the particular reason, I will check with the team.

You can download from

https://www.openprinting.org/download/printdriver/auxfiles/HP/plugins/

or

download respective plugin version using hp-plugin command.

Hi Santhosh !

noooooo :(((
We can open the application, it signals that's the scanner is working but after few seconds it mentionned that there was no device :(...

I've just phoned to my mother. After a new start of the PC and scanner she opened xsane and the message is now : "Erreur d'ouverture du périphérique 'hpgt2500:libusb:001:004'; Paramètre non valable" (that means in english : Error whereas the scanner opens activity 'hpgt2500:libusb:001:004' ; wrong setting)

As per the above logs.. Device is not connected properly. "error: No devices found on bus: usb"

[Sab (sab1703)]

Hi Santhosh !

Because I'm not at my mother's I verified EACH TIME if the scan is properly connected with commands : lsusb and it appears always at the right USB-Hub.

The error isn't at my mother's side ! but because hplip isn't updated with the system and kernel. You are working with a 2 years old system (1.19.6) and not with the actual system (1.20.4) and as far as the kernel is concerned you are working with the Linux 4.4.0-138-generic instead of Linux 4.4.0-148-generic

Please update your system and try once again !

This issue is always there !

Is that mean I had made a very big mistake when I advice my mother to buy a HP product and I have to send this scanner back to receive the money back because it would never work ?? and because HP didn't want to help ?? or ignore totally how to do a good job ??

[Guillaume Soucy (guillaumesoucy94)]

Same issue here, worked for days with @Manfred Hampl to make this scanner work without any positive results. Thanks to him BTW.

[Francis Hauber (francis-hauber-s)]

Hi All,
The path I tried was to unpack hplip, edit the file "hplip-3.19.12/data/models/models.dat" to add the Pro 2500F1 scanner (you can use the Pro 3500F1 section as a template and change parameters such as the USB PID and UID). Then repack hplip and install it. It worked for me but at the end the HPLIP UI doesn't seem to work with a scanner not linked to a printer (it's always stucked with an "hpaio" device that doesn't work. I didn't succeed to solve this.

Finally to get this scanner work under Linux I downloaded the HPLIP plugin for the ScanJet Pro 2500F1 from HP and extracted the relevant files:
- libsane-hpgt2500.so.1.0.27
- hpgt2500_ntdcmsdll.so
I then copied both files into /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane and generated the symbolic links such as libsane-hpgt2500.so and libsane-hpgt2500.so.1)
I made sure the UDEV required file are installed within /ulib/udev/rules.d
Scanner is now working well with xsane or simple-scan (hplip doesn't bring much more I think)

I came across this only recently, noticing that the ScanJet Pro 2500f1 I bought some three years ago is now supported under Linux. Thanks to HP for finally having fixed this major issue with that device. So I went for installing it on Ubuntu Focal (20.04).

I still spent quite some time to find that the solution is rather quick - here it is for the records.
My 2500f1 is connected to a Ubuntu 20.04 Focal (amd64) system. HPLIP is installed by default (3.20.3+dfsg0-2).
Findings worth noting are:
- Apart from hplip and its automatic dependencies, no other hplip-specific packages from the
Ubuntu repositories need installing.
- The scanner needs the proprietary plug-ins from HP.
- Downloading and running the plug-in installer (v 3.20-3) from HP's HPLIP Web site does _not_ work. (Apparently the Debian packager has chosen a different file structure from what HP expects.)
- Instead, /usr/bin/hp-plugin (or /usr/bin/hp-plugin-ubuntu grabs the files and puts them into the place the Debian/Ubuntu hplip expects them in. It also creates the symbolic links mentioned in comment #47 - nothing to do manually.

I did not touch any files in /lib/udev/rules.d. Initially a non-privileged 'scanimage -L' failed to show the scanner, 'sudo scanimage -L' found it. After a reboot, this issue was magically solved, non-privileged access via sane (for example by xsane, simple-scan etc.) works fine.
(I had used another scanner on that system previously.)

I note in passing that one of my unsuccessful attempts was to forget about the Ubuntu packages and install hplip from the HP Web page (newest release at the time of writing, 3.21.2). The automatic installer got me into the dependency hell Sab was mentioning earlier - the package dependencies could not be resolved without (very) undue effort. I was surprised to see that a very popular Linux distribution is so poorly supported by a generic Linux installer - there is potential for HP for improvements!

For those like me who look forward a solution to make HP scanjet pro 2500 f1 device working, here is a working process (thanks to that post : https://gitlab.com/sane-project/backends/-/issues/150).

I'm on Kubuntu 20.4 x64, Those steps where OK :

    sudo apt install hplip
    sudo apt purge hplip
    sudo apt autoremove
    sudo rm -rf /usr/share/hplip
    sudo apt install libsane-hpaio

hp-plugin couldn't download automatically so I had to get it from : https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing/plugins And download 3.20.3 version of the two files hplip-3.20.3-plugin.run hplip-3.20.3-plugin.run.asc to make it compatible with distro packages. Then :

sudo hp-plugin -i

Indicate "p" to give path and if you're in the right folder, a dot as path : .

scanimage -L

detects the scanner

Many posts suggest simple-scan (sudo apt install simple-scan) but I could not manage to scan multiple pages on "simplex" mode...

kscanlite works well but you have to make a first preview to select A4 area and unfortunately, it doesn't remember the area after relaunch.

Xsane (my favorite) works well too but I had to understand how to make it work with multiple pages scanning as I had only first page scanned :

    At first use, in the view window, select A4 and drag&drop the A4 area,
    On the main window, select "multiple page" (opens a new window),
    Select ADF Simplex (or duplex),
    On the main window, upper-left corner, select the number of pages to scan (or any number higher),
    On the multiple-page windows, give a path and a name to the project and "create" project,
    Launch scanning,
    Save multiple page file.
    You will have to delete project to start a new multiple page scan.

Best regards

Reply to #49:

Based on my last week's experience, I strongly suspect that none of the five sudo steps at the beginning of the comment are necessary (why would you install hplip, then delete it, then re-install an equivalent (?) via the libsane-hpaio package?) libsane-hpaio does not appear to be needed, the shared library it installs (/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/sane/libsane-hpaio.so.1.0.0) does not support the Scanjet Pro 2500f1. Instead you need to install the plug-ins from HP that will install the right libraries (the one with hpgt2500 in the name, see comment #47).

On my Ubuntu 20.04 Focal x86_64 system (not Kubuntu, that seems to be the only difference with #49) with hplip installed, running hp-plugin was the only thing needed; it asked the sudo password, grabbed the right files from HP, installed them in the right place, and created all symlinks needed.

I've since used simple-scan successfully in all three modes: flatbed, ADF simplex, ADF duplex. All this works fine (just one minor quirk: An A4 scanning viewpoint is slightly offset transversally (by 3 mm or so) from the place where the ADF delivers A4 sheets.)

Thanks for you advice.
I am not myself a linux guru and even if I also notice that installing and purging was quit surprising, I followed each process step and it worked, so I shared.

I'm not able to explain why it works but at least I can experiment : as I had a third computer to install drivers on, I tried to make it without the five sudo you thought unnecessary and I report.

First, I only installed the hp-plugin :
sudo hp-plugin -i

But scanimage -L didn't found the scanner, nor xsane.

Then I tried to remove hp-lip and reinstall only hplip (and its dependancies) :
    sudo apt install hplip
    sudo apt purge hplip
    sudo apt autoremove
    sudo rm -rf /usr/share/hplip
    sudo apt install hplip

But once again scanimage -L didn't found the scanner, nor xsane.

In then reinstalled plugin :
sudo hp-plugin -i

But still no scanner...

At least I restarted from the begining for the whole process (purge hplip, install libsane-hpaio, reinstall plugin) and then it works....

I can't explain why it works but it seems that each step is useful or at least one step in the process unlock something that make it work.

Best regards !

Hi all,
I went through this about a year ago and what I remember that all this scanner needs to work with sane is to find two libs in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane:
- hpgt2500_ntdcmsdll-x86_64.so
- libsane-hpgt2500-x86_64.so.1.0.27
It doesn't even need to install hplip (that wasn't working for me anyhow)

To extract those files download "hplip-3.21.2-plugin.run (or newer version) here:
https://developers.hp.com/sites/default/files/hplip-3.21.2-plugin.run
Then change attribute for execution permission:
chmod +x hplib-3.21.2-plugin.run
Then run:
./hplip-3.21.2-plugin.run --target hplip-plugin
Go to newly created hplip-plugin directory and you will find the two libs.
Copy those libs to sane lib directory:
sudo cp hpgt2500_ntdcmsdll-x86_64.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane
sudo cp libsane-hpgt2500-x86_64.so.1.0.27 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane
Go to sane libs directory:
cd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane
nd Create the symbolic links with version:
sudo ln -s libsane-hpgt2500-x86_64.so.1.0.27 libsane-hpgt2500-x86_64.so
sudo ln -s libsane-hpgt2500-x86_64.so.1.0.27 libsane-hpgt2500-x86_64.so.1

Done.

Best regards,
Francis
