Hey, I'm the Avision backend author, but I do not have this scanner. A year ago someone said the hp8250 ADF worked, no idea what changed or if there are multiple models.
If you can send me the usbsnoop log from a windows machine scanning, let's say 2 pages at 200 dpi black&white (to keep the log small) I can see what I can do. ono at Safe-mail.net wrote: > Using a live CD of the 20090409 daily build of Ubuntu 9.04 I used the xsane > 0.996 application to run my Hewlett-Packard ScanJet 8250 scanner. > Scanning seemed to work okay except for the ADF. > When trying to use the ADF, the ADF begins to whir without drawing paper from > the ADF tray and then an error message is generated by xsane that states > 'Error during read: Scanner cover is open.' > The ADF hardware on my Hewlett-Packard ScanJet 8250 scanner sometimes > functions inconsistently, but this xsane error occurs every time I have tried > using the ADF. > I noticed some previous messages about a similar problem. > http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/sane-devel/2008-November/023197.html > http://bugs.debian.org/521410 > Is the ADF issue going to be addressed by some future version of SANE? > > -- > sane-devel mailing list: sane-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org > http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/sane-devel > Unsubscribe: Send mail with subject "unsubscribe your_password" > to sane-devel-request at lists.alioth.debian.org > -- Ren?
