Installation of HP all-in-one scanner

Post by peterhw » Mon Oct 26, 2015 11:35 am

An enthusiast but not techie!
I have recently installed Mint 17.2 on an old Toshiba laptop
I have an HP Deskjet F2480 All-In-one attached directly via a USB cable to a Windows 10 desktop PC
I have a router with the desktop ethernet / cable connected & the laptop is WiFi connected
I have installed file sharing and works well
I can print to the printer from the Linux laptop

I’d like to access the F2480 as a scanner but failed to make any progress
I have installed the latest drivers

If I use the Simple Scan or GIMP then neither finds a scanner (any other suggestions appreciated)

If — then how do I configure my scanner to be available from my Mint Laptop?

A number of HP users have had the same problem. I had the same problem. There is an HP open source problem that might solve your problem. It solved mine. Here is the website. http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/index.html Check to see if your printer is listed.

I just read your post and the good replies to it. Here are my thoughts on this as well.

1.) Below is a link to install the HP Open Source drivers. click the button «Download HPLIP», save the file somewhere like your «/downloads» folder, and follow the instructions .

HP Linux Imaging and Printing; Print, Scan and Fax Drivers for Linux
http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/in . index.html

FYI-1: I found that creating a folder (directory) for the HP drivers in my «/home» folder, ex: «hplip-3.15.7», and copying, or saving,
the downloaded installation file «hplip-3.15.7.run» into that folder and running it from there worked cleaner & better.
Lately, when I ran the HP install from my «/home» folder, it created a lot of HP printer stuff (extra files and folders)
in my «/home» folder that I did not want there.

~/hplip-3.15.7 > sh hplip-3.15.7.run

FYI-2: if you have a problem running the HP installation script, make sure you have «dash» script program installed
from the Software Manager or Synaptic Package Manager (SPM).

2.) After you install the above, your scanner should be working. You can use «xsane» (default scanner program), «gscan2pdf», and in the Software Manager or Synaptic Package Manager (SPM) you can look for «gimp’ and see various plug-ins including those for scanning.

Ubuntu Simple Scan HP All in One

At home we have an HP OfficeJet J6410 printer, which has worked brilliantly for years. Unlike every previous printer we’ve owned, this printer sits happily on our network and seems perfectly content to be used only very occasionally, whereon it willingly responds with decent quality prints and scans.

I have set up the printer with a static IP address and so the scanning is managed via the web interface http://192.168.0.100/webScan , whereon the scanned image opens a new tab in the browser, enabling you to save to wherever.

This printing and scanning Nirvana hit a road bump today, when it just instantly went to “Scan done” and failed to actually do anything. Rebooting the laptop, the printer and clearing temporary internet files all failed to resolve the problem, as did changing from Chrome to Firefox.

In desperation I tried running Ubuntu Simple Scan, but predictably enough it did not find the printer. A quick Internet search took me to this excellent Ubunutu community page.

I opened a terminal and typed:

$ hp-makeuri 192.168.0.100 CUPS URI: hp:/net/Officejet_J6400_series?ip=192.168.0.100 SANE URI: hpaio:/net/Officejet_J6400_series?ip=192.168.0.100 HP Fax URI: hpfax:/net/Officejet_J6400_series?ip=192.168.0.100 Done. 

I then typed (taking the SANE URI from above):

$ simple-scan hpaio:/net/Officejet_J6400_series?ip=192.168.0.100 

And it worked perfectly! Flushed with success I read on to see how to make this a permanent fixture, and it turned out that all I needed to do was configure the CUPS URI for the printer itself (it was previously set to something like socket://192.168.0.100 ):

$ vim /etc/cups/printers.com DeviceURI hp:/net/Officejet_J6400_series?ip=192.168.0.100 

And now simply running Ubuntu Simple Scan works perfectly.

Thank you Ubuntu community!

Supported Models

Printing, scanning, and faxing with HP All-In-One (AIO) printers is supported by the hplip project. The hplip package is included in Ubuntu.

Please see here for a list of supported devices.

Setup printing

• Turn on the printer, and connect to the All-In-One. This may be via USB (for local and/or network access), ethernet, or wireless.
  • For USB, connect the USB cord from the printer to your computer. For sharing the USB printer for network access, please see here.
  • To connect via ethernet, connect the printer’s ethernet port to your router.
  • To connect via wireless, use the printers LCD screen to navigate the menu as per the printer’s manual.

  Scanning and other features such as memory card image transfer should now work. To see a list of HP utilities, enter the following in a a terminal:

  This wiki page has screenshots of hp-setup.

  Troubleshoot printing

  This will summarize any installation errors.

  error: hp-setup requires GUI support

  In 14.04, you need to execute the following in a terminal before running hp-setup:

  sudo apt-get install python-qt4

  In 15.04, you need to install python3-pyqt4 running the following command in a terminal:

  sudo apt-get install python3-pyqt4

  warning: Qt/PyQt 4 initialization failed. error: hp-setup requires GUI support (try running with --qt3). Also, try using interactive (-i) mode.

  Setup scanning

  For local scanning, once plugged in, it should be immediately available for scanning by running Simple Scan or Xsane.

  Network scanning

  If one is sharing out a USB connected All-In-One, one may utilize saned.

  Troubleshoot scanning

  If your all-in-one printer is on a network and you use the Gnome Printers window to add the printer as an HP Jet-Direct printer, then you will not be able to scan. To solve this problem, you must first determine the URI of the printer by executing inside a terminal window:

  where IP-ADDRESS should be replaced with the IP address of your printer. This will show the CUPS (printing) and SANE (scanning) URIs for your printer.

  You can temporarily access the scanner by supplying the SANE URI to xsane every time you execute it:

  sudo nano /etc/cups/printers.conf

  and replacing the ‘socket’ DeviceURI with the ‘hp’ URI returned by hp-makeuri. Restart cups after making this change:

  sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart

  Known issues

  • saned does not work in Utopic or Vivid for the purposes of network scanning with HP Office Jet 5610v
