[14:09] long time. [14:09] where you been [14:10] yip. just popping in to say "Hi". Been crazy busy. [14:13] aw [14:14] sort the busy so you have some irc time [14:20] :-) [15:38] ohi superfly [15:38] Hi Kilos [16:15] grrrrrrrrrrrr [16:16] Don't suppose anybody have a HP scanjet 200 scanner and got it working on linux ? [16:27] mazal, nope, but are using hplip already? [16:28] octoquad, yep , already tried the newest one [16:28] Seems it simply doesn't work with linux [16:39] I have an officejet 4500, works out the box. [16:40] mazal: which desktop environment are you using? [16:41] mazal: and I presume it's USB? [16:50] superfly, unity , 14.04.2 , 64bit , USB [16:51] All info I can find online ends up in dead end [16:54] I'm on KDE, and I just use "skanlite" [16:55] Which uses xsane, IIRC [16:55] You tried the GTK version? === a7med is now known as Neo31 [17:29] superfly, yep. Tried xsane also. Doesn't even detect it [17:38] isnt there simplescan mazal [17:38] last i used a hp printer inkjet printer simple scan saw it easy [17:41] * Kilos thinks early to bed is wise [17:45] Kilos, that doesn't work either [17:48] ai [17:49] i think on one printer ting i had to use some modprobe comand [17:50] night all, sleep tight [17:50] see ya morrow [17:57] good evening [17:57] mazal: have you got the latest HPLIP package installed? [17:57] http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/index.html [17:59] Yep , doesn't work [17:59] ai! [17:59] sad when this happens [18:00] HPLIP doesn't even scan for scanners , just printers [18:00] HP used to be very well supported on linux [18:01] Now I will be stuck on this stupid OS for a while longer :( [18:02] what info do you get about it when running lsusb? [18:03] It's shows there. But can't remember all the exact info. [18:04] mazal: output of lsusb and "tail -f /var/log/syslog" when you plug the scanner in? [18:04] it doesn't list in the sane list of supported scanners - while there are about 100 other hp scanjets there [18:04] so probably you will have a hard time to get it working if its possible at all [18:04] Mani yeah, it just doesn't seem to be supported [18:05] superfly, I already packed everything away :P [18:05] mazal: how old is the scanner? [18:05] 2 years [18:05] +- [18:06] I will just have to save up for a supported one I guess [18:06] And will then ask you guys to recommend one [18:07] * inetpro simply uses CamScanner on Android these days [18:07] vuescan may work apparently [18:07] no need for a scanner anymore [18:07] MaNI, is that an app ? [18:08] my scanner is always in my pocket [18:08] yes [18:08] yep, uses the camera and does a decent job at converting to pdf, image, etc [18:08] ahh, no vuescan only works for it on osx and windows [18:09] Will write it down and try tomorrow. After 14 hours of struggling with computer crap not working I am a bit gatvol now [18:09] trash it :p [18:09] k [18:09] press a button and send to who ever needs it [18:10] supporting osx but not linux, what messed up priorities [18:12] mazal, according to this: http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/supported_devices/index.html scanjets are not support with HPLIP. Additionally the technical specs only support Windows and Mac [18:14] Yeah like I mentioned to inetpro , it only checks for printers [18:14] not supported with sane either: http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html#Z-HEWLETT-PACKARD [18:14] bummer [18:15] Yeah I be stuck [18:15] keep the sane-project.org link handy if do decide to get a new one [18:16] mazal: how often do you scan documents these days? [18:16] or just use a virtual machine and use the scanner? [18:17] inetpro, about twice a month. But when I do it's VERY important [18:17] number of pages? [18:18] octoquad, I know zip about virtual machines. Never even tried it. It's on my " to-learn " list for long time [18:18] inetpro, About 30 or so [18:18] eish! [18:18] Why eish ? [18:19] wonder how well vuescan works in wine [18:19] a physical scanner might be what you need [18:19] That's why I have one [18:22] but you might want to try the Android way anyway, maybe you find it practical after all [18:22] I don't have an Android [18:22] My phone can't even do facebook lol [18:22] hmm... what mobile phone do you have? [18:23] I only use cheapie phone , one of these 299 tjoppies [18:23] yikes! [18:24] I had a smartphone once , and when they told me R700 for new battery I calmly fetched my hammer [18:24] Since then no smart phones [18:25] wb MaNI [18:27] tx [18:27] Sjoe head is spinning. Gonna crash [18:27] Sleep well everyone , thanx for trying [18:37] Evening Everyone [18:42] evening Cryterion [18:56] Good evening === Webtricity is now known as Guest13670
