HP Deskjet F2275 scanner not working

[PAC Engineering]

I have a HP print/scanner, and it reads it as a printer. I had another HP print/scanner before, and it had the same problem. Fortunately that one died. The problem I have with this one, which is model number HP Deskjet F2275 all-in-one, is that it sees it as a printer, and the printer works fine, but doesn't recognise the scanner. I can't find it on the system, as it says it cant see it, and I have tried other things as suggested on the help and support forums, but cant get it to be seen by my computer.

I do have another problem as well, where I cant update my antivirus. I don't know if it is me, or the computer (probably me), and I don't know if they are related problems, but I thought I'd mention it.

I hope you can help me out. I am using the latest ubuntu version, from about a month ago.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

That's not a gnome-terminal issue the bug needs to be reassigned, thanks.

I am sure that your scanner issue doesn't have anything to do with your Antivirus program. I believe SANE (the Ubuntu scanner backend) does not support your scanner but I could be wrong. Here is a list of supported scanners. http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html#Z-HEWLETT-PACKARD Sorry
