This version is said supporting my printer (http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/release_notes.html). Printing is working correctly. However when I try to scan with simple-scan (launched from terminal) I get this error : ** (simple-scan:3431): WARNING **: Unable to get open device: Error during device I/O Further investigation show error in syslog : simple-scan: scan/sane/soapht.c 89: unable to load restricted library /usr/share/hplip/scan/plugins/bb_soapht.so: /usr/share/hplip/scan/plugins/bb_soapht.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I've seen some bugreports with this error, but none explicitly talking about this file. Installing latest (3.11.7) hplip from the hplip website and installing printer with hp-setup made scanning work. And with this method, the bb_soapht.so file is installed (a symlink pointing to /usr/share/hplip/scan/plugins/bb_soapht-x86_32.so) Installing the printer with the natty stock hplip hp-setup tool lead to the error : "unable to download plugin".
