HP OfficeJet Scanner not recognized

[Christopher]

Binary package hint: xsane

My HP OfficeJet's scanning function is not recognized by sane in Karmic, although it works perfectly in Jaunty. It prints well in both. The scan path is: /usr/bin/xsane -V %SANE_URI%.

I have two computers with partitions running Karmic, and the problem is the same with both. I looked in the Synaptic package manager for any items used by Jaunty that aren't present in Karmic, but any missing files found made no difference. My system was just checked for updates.

lsusb sees the device as does hp toolbox.

Ubuntu Karmic (development branch)
Version 9.10

Same problem. Very frustrating!

Update: upgrading hplip to 3.9.12 (from the hplip site, rather than synaptic) solved the problem.

Any chance of a backport of hplip from lucid into karmic?

Mine is working fine in both Karmic and Lucid. I have a 4215 all in one (4200 series) and an older one on another computer.
