I added some stuff to petget, a file overwrite warning and a dep check. One of them is causing petget to hang randomly and lock up the desktop. Ironically, I'm working on that right this moment and will hopefully solve the issue (so far so good).

In the mean time, download the installpkg.sh.gz below and extract it to /usr/local/petget and see if that fixes the problem. Make sure it's executable after extracting. Right click on it and select "make executable".
Tried the above in x-slacko 1.0 non-PAE. Seems to fix the blowups on pet installs there too. I flogged it quite mercilessly chasing and adding libraries to an emendo pet and it both installed the pets and found dependencies ok.

Thanks,

Hmmm, I didn't get that in X-slacko. If it's doing it there I need to change the installpkg.sh as well. Looks like it was the file clobber overwrite check that I borrowed from lina.

re: xprecise 2.1.1...................

I can print with my wireless printer (hp deskjet 3510) on my toshiba laptop (a135-s4527) but cannot scan a document with simple scan, peasyscan, or xsane scanner. I have loaded the current driver (hplip_scan_3.13.7.pet). Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

In the past, what procedures have you used to set up network scanning in other Puppies?

I just installed X-Precise-2.1.1 with hplip_scan_3.13.9.pet. Using Peasyscan, I set up network scanning to an HP unit. It worked correctly.

Connect your DJ 3510 directly by USB and test.

@rcrsn51... yea, I can scan by connecting my USB. I have not tried to scan with other "puppies". I have not taken any "set-up" actions for scanning other than loading the driver. What additional steps should I take to enable wireless scanning? Thank you for your support.

Read the Peasyscan Help. It discusses configuration files and how to use them for network scanning to HP units. In your case, you would need a configuration file with a single line like

Code: Select all

<uri>hpaio:/net/Officejet_4500_G510n-z?ip=192.168.2.215</uri>
Modify it to use your printer's name and IP address.

I expect that the correct printer name is Deskjet_3510_series

@rcrsn51... Thank you for trying to help... I read everything you suggested and tried to make the terminal entries, but just get "no such file" or something similar... anyway, if I have to scan another document I will just connect via USB... Thank you again... PS: I will keep reading and experimenting... perhaps at some point in the future I will learn to scan using my wireless router...

Why don't we solve the problem now?

1. Have you created a file in /usr/local/peasyscan/config?

2. When you start Peasyscan, do you get the window listing this file?

3. Please post the contents of the file.

Okay... let's solve it now...

Yes, I have created a configuration file, but it's incorrect. I am not sure which IP address to use... it looks like I have 3 different types (external & Bcast & inet address). I used the inet address...

Also, relative to the script you gave me, immediately following my printer description should I have included "G510n-z?ip"?? I didn't (see below).

Anyway, when I press start, I get an error message (see below).

I was going to try and work this out myself, but I'm sure it will be much better with your help.

Thank you.

Please post the contents of the configuration file that you created.

You may just have missed the "?ip"

Code: Select all

hpaio:/net/Deskjet_3510_series?ip=192.168.1.100

Delete all the lines but the first one from your configuration file and fix it as in my post above.

Are you sure that Deskjet_3510_series is the correct name of the scanner? To know for sure, connect by USB and run the command "scanimage -L".

Are you sure that 192.168.1.100 is the IP address of the SCANNER, not your own IP address. Where did you find it?

Here are two ways to find the IP address of your scanner.

1. Go to its little LCD control panel screen and look through the menus for network setup. The current IP address should be listed somewhere. Ideally, you want to set this as a static (permanent) address. Otherwise, it will change every time you reboot the printer, and you will have to reinstall it in CUPS and as a scanner.

2. From your Puppy Network menu, run PeasyPort. Scan your network using the IP range 192.168.1.1-254 and Port 9100. That will be your printer.

[Edit] I notice that X-Precise has removed PeasyPort. Too bad. It's a useful tool for situations like this.

I made very good progress, but not quite there, yet.

I can get a preview and I can scan a document... however, the scanned document is not in the specified folder AND I get a popup message that quickly disappears. The message isn't there long enough to read... but, it says something about grey shades and a document in my temp folder named "out.pnm"... I don't have an application to open this document... when using text editor it is a blank document.

Any suggestions?

Read the recipe for using Peasyscan here. I think that you are missing the step where you click Return.

The default folder for your saved images is /root.

There is also a Flash demo posted here.

Okay, got it! The "scanned" document was saved to root.

Thanks for your support... and, I thought I could figure it out myself LOL. No way.

I will review all the various steps until it becomes second nature for me.

Thank you, again. I really appreciate your support!

Glad to help. Where did you find your scanner's IP address?
