"m. allan noah" replied: > Do you have HPLIP installed? Yes as above HP page says 3.10.6 or newer required. I installed 3.11.1 then 3.11.3 My other Epson scanner is Just a scanner, & works. The HP is a combi scanner + printer. I'm just wondering if that might be a problem to FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE, though I recognise that's not a valid question for this sane list, so I'll ask on an @FreeBSD.org list.
