On HP Deskjet 1050/2050 scanning does not work

[Andy S]

Binary package hint: hplip

Just following on from advice given:

"Yash said on 2010-09-21:

We will support scanning of 1050 in future HPLIP release. Please create bug in launch pad for the same.
Thanks for contacting HPLIP"

as I see it hasn't been done yet and I have a Deskjet 1050 here now.

It isn't mine so others may have to follow this one up.

This is meant for the upstream HPLIP project by HP, not for Ubuntu's packaging. Adding upstream task.

[Naga Samrat Chowdary, Narla (samrat-hplip)]

Please download the latest HPLIP 3.10.9 from www.hplipopensource.com site and install.
once installed open /usr/share/hplip/data/models/models.dat file as root.
edit section "deskjet_1050_j410_series" and set "io-mfp-mode=1" and "scan-type=7" and save the file.

quit hp-toolbox / hp-systray if it is running.

launch "xsane" from terminal.

Uninstallable at present on Ubuntu 10.10 - missing dependency cups-dev* (and possibly 4 more - installer fails one missing dependency at a time):

INSTALL MISSING REQUIRED DEPENDENCIES
-------------------------------------
warning: There are 5 missing REQUIRED dependencies.
note: Installation of dependencies requires an active internet connection.
warning: Missing REQUIRED dependency: cups-devel (CUPS devel- Common Unix Printing System development files)
warning: This installer cannot install 'cups-devel' for your distro/OS and/or version.
error: Installation cannot continue without this dependency. Please manually install this dependency and re-run this installer.

Yes - I have the deb-src repos enabled.

Presumably people will more likely to try getting this printer/scanner with Maverick than older releases.

[Andy S (andys-bristolwireless)]

OK - after guessing the actual package names of the missing depends, got the latest hplip to install and after editing /usr/share/hplip/data/models/models.dat as per instructions above (then re-connecting device) scan functions.

Will leave the packaging of a newer hplip to the experts!

Thanks for the fix!

[enrique lopez moreno (enrique-lopezmoreno)]

Solution apported by Naga Samrat i has been Ok to me.
Thank you and Regards

[Yulin Chen (chen-yulin-yehe)]

I got a HP Deskjet 2050 all in one printer/scanner, and the scan function does not work also, and I set "io-mfp-mode=1" and "scan-type=7" and save the file also, the scan function works.

[enrique lopez moreno (enrique-lopezmoreno)]

I test solution aported by Naga Samrat and was Ok for HP Deskjet 1050's scan.However, I've got another printer (HP Deskjet 3940) and after making changes in models.dat to allow acces at 1050 scan, printer 3940 have left to work. And system says impossible communicate with printer (more or less this message).

I also get a HP Deskjet 2050, but it does not seem to work (I am on Ubuntu 10.10). I tried to install hplip, but it says that I miss gcc, while apt-get says that I already have the latest version installed. Any thoughts on what I can try next ?

[Naga Samrat Chowdary, Narla (samrat-hplip)]

Please follow the attached patch at
https://answers.launchpad.net/hplip/+faq/1356
 <https://answers.launchpad.net/hplip/+faq/1356>and re-install.
once installed, then apply the patch specific to HP Deskjet 2050.

[Bryan Zimmerman (codeabit)]

Thank you Naga Samrat Chowdary! I searched for hours yesterday to find a solution, but was unsuccessful. Today, I finally found your comment (written on 2010-10-03), which now has my scanner working! I very much appreciate you taking time to post this solution.

[Till Kamppeter (till-kamppeter)]

Can you try whether scanning works out-of-the-box with HPLIP 3.10.9? I have packaged it for Natty today.

[Naga Samrat Chowdary, Narla (samrat-hplip)]

All scan code is available for this printer on HPLIP 3.10.9 release.
To scan work on this printer, In addition to HPLIP 3.10.9 code, we need to update models.dat file with #3 comments.

Thanks,
Naga Samrat Chowdary, Narla

[Till Kamppeter (till-kamppeter)]

Applied the changes in models.dat to the Ubuntu Natty package.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package hplip - 3.10.9-0ubuntu7

---------------
hplip (3.10.9-0ubuntu7) natty; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/scan-on-dj-1050-2050.dpatch: Corrected model properties

[Dred (dreadlocks)]

Hi,

For the time being as a work around, please do the following steps;

From HP support:

Open /usr/share/hplip/data/models/models.dat file as root. Go to section [deskjet_1050_j410_series] and set "io-mfp-mode=1" and "scan-type=7" and save the file.

Now your scan should work.

[Ken Phillis Jr (kphillisjr)]

Just tested with the recommended fixes, and the scan functionality does not work. However, my system is running x86_64. However, as a bonus, print functionality is fixed using the hplip 3.10.9 source package. Anyways, the specific error is as follows when running simple-scan...

** (simple-scan:12476): WARNING **: Unable to get open device: Device busy

also, xsane produces similar responses.

[Jan Ostrochovsky (jan-ostrochovsky)]

Also just tested with recommended fixes, and the scan functionality does not work.

Tested on 2 systems: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and 10.10. Both also x86_64.

Error message after running xsane: "Failed to open device hpaio:/usb/Deskjet_1050_J410_series?seria=CN07M2P3G505HW: Device busy.".

I downloaded hplip 3.10.9, unpacked, modified the right section of models.dat included in the package, installed all requested dependencies (needed to run ./configure repeatedly to install all needed packages). then:

./configure --disable-network-build
make
sudo make install
sudo reboot

still no success...

[Naga Samrat Chowdary, Narla (samrat-hplip)]

configure with the following steps from hplip-3.10.9 directory
sudo make uninstall
male clean
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install

Thanks,
Naga Samrat Chowdary, Narla

[Jan Ostrochovsky (jan-ostrochovsky)]

Naga, not you, but I say THANKS!

I applied your recommendation and now it works on both systems.

I am using Ubuntu for several years, I love it and the promptness, how huge majority of all problems can be solved with easiness, thanks to people like you. Ubuntu and its community is superior, I love you !!

Ostry (after whole-night amusement, so excuse expressive expressions ;)

[emaTux (ematux)]

also for me the scan fuctionality work with the command "./configure --prefix=/usr" and HP Deskjet 2050 on Ubuntu 10.10 64bit!

Thanks!

[palimmo (palimmo)]

I'm sorry, but I have serious problems to follow these instructions.
I've tried to install hplip-3.10.9 on my Ubuntu 10.10 64 bit to use my new HP Deskjet 1050 without success.

Can you repeat with precision the correct sequence to install it correctly?
Thanks in advance,
Alessio

(at the moment... I try to open Xsane but it replies: It's not possible open the device 'hpaio:/usb/Deskjet_1050_J410_series?serial=CN08H2J48X05HW': device is busy. )

[palimmo (palimmo)]

With
./configure --prefix=/usr
I got this error
configure: error: cannot find net/ucd-snmp support (or --disable-network-build)

With
./configure --disable-network-build
I got
configure: error: cannot find sane-backends-devel support (or --disable-scan-build)

And with
./configure --disable-scan-build
I got
configure: error: cannot find net/ucd-snmp support (or --disable-network-build

[palimmo (palimmo)]

Yes!!
It works now!
Solved installing missed packages like snmptt and libsane-dev

Thank you soooo much!

[Knarfix (frankkurian)]

Hi,

I too have a HP Deskjet 2050 on Ubuntu 10.10 64bit, somehow no luck.
xsane says no devices available. Printing is no problem.

Before following the instruction I saw here, I had tried the hplip-3.10.9.run.
Could this be the reason why the scanner is not working?

Thanks :)

[Knarfix (frankkurian)]

.....it is working after i redid the changes in /usr/share/hplip/models/models.dat. Thanks a lot :)

[carlos cerrato (scriptfang)]

I am amused with the vitality of the Ubuntu community in particular, and Linux in general.

Let me say.

Mr Naga .... you rocks...!!!

I follow your instructions and all is working now. Thank you.

After I made the modifications you give us in ... /model .... I tried xsane and something looks fine.
But ...
In the process I received a message like: device not ready ... or something like that.

the system (xsane) recognized the scanner. let me scan in low resolution, then when I try to scan a document I found two problems.

1) I mentioned it already. Problems with recognizing the scanner. Playing a little with the configuration (of xsane) was solved. (I documented but ... I can't found my notes.)

2) All the time xsane tryes to use the same name for the file (I choose JPEG). the solution? Insert a number 1 in the name. something like .... scan1.JPEG from here xsane increments the number in steps (you can chose the steps, normally 1).

This notes are written thinking in people like me, not Mr. Naga.

Good luck.

[aum11 (jayavinda)]

FYI, just downloaded hplip 3.11.1 and everything on the 2050 worked perfectly, including scanning , with no changes required.

This is on Ubuntu 10.04.

Thanks.

[amadenri (amadenri)]

Same success as aum11 (with no changes). On Ubuntu 10.10 64 bit.

Bye.

[Wang Xiaoyun (wangxiaoyun)]

I'm not able to install hplip 3.11.1 on my Ubuntu 10.10 64 bit. Several dependency conflicts can not be solved.

When I want to install those in Synaptic, I got errors such as following.

libcups2-dev:
  Depends: libcups2 (=1.4.4-6ubuntu2) but 1.4.4-6ubuntu2.3 is to be installed

According to Synaptic, libcups2 on my machine is 1.4.4-6ubuntu2.3 actually.

Could someone shed some light on it? Thanks in advance.
