HP M1212n no longer scans

[bnc75ohm]

I created the soft link as you described but the scanner still hung, but for a much longer time before displaying the error.  But it hung nonetheless.

I plugged it into a USB port and here's the output of lsusb:

Code: [Select]

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 058f:6377 Alcor Micro Corp. Multimedia Card Reader
Bus 002 Device 006: ID 03f0:052a Hewlett-Packard

Thanks -

Just to make sure, do:

ls -l /usr/lib/libhpmud.so
uname -r

and post the output. That lsusb output looks incomplete. There's no printer and scanner entries. Let's check your kernel version with the second command shown above.

Here's the output from ls -l /usr/lib/libhpmud.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Aug 16 22:25 /usr/lib/libhpmud.so -> /usr/lib/libhpmud.so.0*

and the kernel version is:
2.6.38.8-pclos1.bfs

Here's an update - When the multifunction machine was connected to my desktop PC via USB,  several messages popped up at the lower right corner of the screen (I'm running KDE) saying   "missing printer driver" and "install printer driver".  I went to the PCC and clicked on "set up the printer" and  after the printer was set up, I went to "set up the scanner", set it up and that permitted me to scan via a USB connection!  Next I connected the printer to my network and both the printer and scanner set up using PCC on the network!  I shut down the printer and PC several times and the connection held so I may be out of the woods.  It looks like creating the soft link solved the problem. Thanks for all your help -
