You didn't state which Puppy you are using, but the newest version of the gensys backend is here. Try adding the USB ID code to this one.

If it doesn't work, I can build the development version for you.

Please post your next message in the other thread.

SANE discovered the USB device. But have you installed a driver for it, like hplip_scan from the main page?

Tahrpup has SANE v1.0.23. It works fine with HPLIP. Installing a new SANE version just complicates matters.

What does the "scanimage -L" command say?

It tells me that no devices were found. Yes I installed the printer and scanner pets from here:

http://www.mediafire.com/download/2uw6a ... 3.16.5.pet

printing works fine and it does use the hplite driver.

Just to be clear, do you mean the hplip_print PET from here or the hplite package from another section?

First of all, sane-find-scanner is broken in Tahrpup 605. Is that why you installed SANE v1.0.26?

But hplip_scan v3.16.5 is definitely working with my HP models.

Because you have now made a number of changes, it's impossible to know what's going on. I would recommend a fresh install of Tahpup that reverts to the original SANE.

Then install the hplip_scan PET and check with scanimage -L.

If you want a working sane-find-scanner, pull it out of a Slacko.

Your Officejet 6200s looks like a standard model and the scanner should work. Have you tried it with other Linuxes?

It worked. My packages broke the sane backend. At the beginning I tried sane-find-scanner and did not detect anything so then I decided to compile a newer version, everything spiraled downward from there. I did not try to get the hp drivers until I had already tried to use the newer version of sane

OP links broken at mediafire

#386 Post by fitch »

as title says - the links appear to be broken from mediafire... the link i was specifically interested in is/was the tahrpup64 combo hplip printer/scanner...

if there is going to be an update anyways - is there any way to get the latest/greatest version ? ie - i think it is the 3.16-series rather than the 3.15 series now... otoh, my printer/scanner is fairly old and so it does not need the latest/greatest to work, i assume (hp officejet 4500 g-z somesuch)...

tia, h.

hplip download site

#388 Post by sszindian »

@rcrsn51

Wanted to try your hplip_print-3.16.5.pet and hplip_san-3.16.5.pet for the new 64-bit Slacko but your site hasn't been working for a week now? I guess you know by now the new 64-bit has a print problem, hopefully your .pet's will correct things?

How to Install Your Printer/Scanner in Puppy

#394 Post by Sky Aisling »

Hello Rcrsn51,
Update: I have built a 64bit version of HPLIP specifically for Tahrpup64. This is a combo print/scan package . Download it here.
Code:
e0936e8883891fe0f2acf1cd67c95ff0 hplip_print_scan_tahr64-3.15.9.pet
Mediafire says file not there. Is there an alternative site to find this .pet?

Thank you for your response in advance.

Sky
